Samantha Clarke was spending time with family away from her job as a hotel assistant manager when she was knifed at 6.30pm on Sunday
THIS is the first picture of a mum stabbed to death in a £1 million house after another night of bloodshed in London.
Samantha Clarke, 38, died in Brixton days after celebrating her son Joshua's 14th birthday in a brutal killing just 30 minutes after a young dad was killed in North London.
She is understood to have been spending time with her family away from her job as a hotel assistant manager when she was knifed at 6.30pm on Sunday.
Dramatic pictures showed a suspect being led away in handcuffs from the £1 million where Samantha died.
Her husband Paul told : "She was a loving mum. Everything she did was for her son.
"She just wanted to spend as much time with him as possible."
Police are questioning a 24-year-old man on suspicion of murder.
Samantha's killing brought the number of people killed in the capital this year to 59 after Raul Nicolaie was stabbed to death just 36 minutes before in Colindale.
The 26-year-old decorator died in hospital and a 34-year-old woman has been arrested on suspicion of murder.
London's grisly death toll rose again this morning to 60 after a teenager was knifed to death in Forest Gate last night.
A murder investigation has now been launched after the tragedy unfolded in East London overnight, with paramedics scrambled just before 11pm.
