Heartbroken friends and family of the Australian woman found dead in her London flat have started raising money to bring her body home.
Amy Parsons, 35, originally from Melbourne, was found dead in the fifth-floor apartment in Whitechapel about 1.30pm BST on Friday.
Her graphic designer fiancé Roderick Deakin-White, 37, was hours later charged with her murder and will appear in Thames Magistrates' Court on Wednesday to apply for bail.
Ms Parsons had been living in the United Kingdom for several years and has no family in the country.
Her family launched a fundraising campaign, hoping to raise $20,000 to help her parents Leonie and Michael and her sister Eve fly to London get retrieve her body.

The Bringing Amy Home fundraising page had raised nearly $22,000 by Wednesday morning.
Ms Parsons has been described as 'the kindest soul' and a 'one-of-a-kind sister'.
'She was the most beautiful person. Amy was adventurous, intelligent, kind hearted, down-to-earth and loved by all who knew her,' the page read.
'Amy had so many friends all over the world, and she was the kindest soul.'
Ms Parsons and her graphic-designer partner were just months away from being married when her body was found.
Despite reports that their relationship had been under strain, there is no sign anything was wrong as the couple enjoyed the unseasonably warm British weather just a week ago.

The couple had been dating for close to a decade and Ms Parsons had moved to London in March 2012 to start a new life with him.
She started work at Old Mutual as an executive assistant, having worked in the same role for AXA Australian back in Melbourne.
Her sister Eve, also an executive assistant, was already in the British capital, having settled there in late 2011 after months of travelling and now lives with her same-sex partner.
The families were close and had known each other since at least 2007.
The Parsons sisters and their mother were visiting Dunstable, Bedfordshire, as part of a world tour from Australia to Singapore, Europe, and North America.
Deakin-White's mother Christine still lives in Dunstable where she and Ed have run Deakin-White estate agents since 2016.
Ms Deakin-White is battling cancer and on Wednesday shared curry lunch with her husband, Ed, and Ed's partner after a chemotherapy session.
