After a glamorous university graduate died after falling off her motorcycle seat, police launched a search for her Range Rover.

Carolina Ramirez Jimenez, 23, believed to be a pillion passenger on a Yamaha motorcycle, was found with serious head injuries on August 1.

Metropolitan Police officers were called to Silverthorne Road, Battersea, South West London, at around 2.30am that day following reports of an injured woman.

The former University of Greenwich student, who recently graduated with a master’s degree in investments and finance, later died after being taken to hospital in South London.

Officers were unable to locate any vehicles that may have been involved at the time but subsequently launched further investigations.

Detectives are now appealing for anyone who was in the area at the time of the incident and may have seen the motorcycle or dark-coloured Range Rover to come forward.

Roads and Transport Policing Command detectives are also urging anyone with footage of cash recovered from the dam to come forward.

They were released on bail pending further investigation.

It came after Ms Jimenez’s friends and family paid tribute to the 23-year-old, whose name has been named for the first time since her death in August.

Ms Jimenez was born in Gran Canaria but moved to the UK more than a decade ago.

In addition to his master’s degree, he also earned a bachelor’s degree in accounting from the University of Greenwich.

Her father, Rogelio, described her as “a very happy girl, always with a smile on her face” in an interview with an island newspaper in August.

‘He was someone who conveyed happiness to everyone around him,’ he told Canarias 7.

Carolina’s cousin Estefani Jimenez, who lives in Antofagasta, Chile, said in an online tribute: ‘This is the cousin that will hurt me for the rest of my life.

‘Fly high my beautiful butterfly. Until I see your beautiful face again.”

Although originally from Gran Canaria, Carolina identified herself as being from Croydon on Facebook.

He studied at Mitcham-based Harris Academy Merton, where former students include rapper Stormzy, before starting his education in Greenwich.

On Linkedin, he described himself as ‘motivated and responsible’ and said he was looking forward to applying his knowledge in his country of origin.
