When Janina Vincent took one look at her daughter Portia’s London home, she knew instantly she had not been there for some time.

The air in her North Finchley flat seemed stale, food was rotting in the fridge, and a dead flower sat wilting in the corner of the room.

‘Portia loves life, she would never leave a dried up brown flower in the corner of the room,’ Janina explains in an exclusive interview with Metro.’I knew straight away, she had not been home.
