British police have opened a murder investigation after the body of a young Norwegian woman studying in London was found in the garbarge room of a fashionable apartment building. Police confirmed Monday that the woman is a student who disappeared late last week.

When her friends headed home from the club at around 2:30am, Magnussen stayed, and was believed to have planned to go to a late-night party (called a nachspiel, in Norwegian). She was reportedly accompanied by at least one of three Arab men whom Magnussen and her other friends had partied with earlier.

Police reportedly believe she was killed in a flat in the building on Great Portland Street, and that her body was then taken down to the cellar to hide it. The London newspaper Daily Mail reported that the flat is rented by three men from the Middle East and that they are now at the center of the police investigation.
