27-year-old Kamonnan Thiamphanit, known as Angela to friends, was heard screaming on the evening of Sunday 7 April by neighbours before her body was found by police on Monday.
The Metropolitan Police has referred itself to a watchdog after it emerged calls from friends concerned about her welfare were not acted upon.
Kamonnan Thiamphanit, 27, was found dead by police at a property on Stanhope Place in London's plush Bayswater area on Monday morning, prompting investigation into reports of screams coming from the building over the weekend.
Neighbours living close to the £4million house, formerly serving the Ethiopian Embassy, told MailOnline they had heard loud music and shouting late on Saturday night and into the early hours of Sunday morning, hours before police received calls expressing concern for the dual-nationality Chinese/Hong Kong and Thai woman.
Police have now confirmed they are 'supporting her devastated family and friends as best we can as they come to terms with their tragic loss', noting Ms Thiamphanit, who worked in London, has relatives based overseas.
'While our detectives are keeping an open mind regarding any motive, I can confirm they believe it is possible that her attacker was known to her,' said Commander Owain Richards on Thursday.
Residents of the area told MailOnline they believe the house is rented out as an Airbnb-style holiday let and that it does not have any permanent residents, having previously served as the site of the Ethiopian diplomatic mission in the United Kingdom.
One wealthy local said the types of people leasing the property varied - but that most only tended to stay for a short time.
A resident living in Stanhope Place said: 'All kinds of people rent it for a few days. In early March there were three women in the house who partied over the weekend and made lots of noise.
