The woman’s next of kin has been informed and are being supported by specially trained officers, Scotland Yard said.
A spokesman for the force added: “It is believed Bennet was known to Sarah and detectives are not looking for anyone else in relation to the incident.
“Detectives continue their work to build a picture of Sarah’s life in the weeks leading up to her death.
