A woman who was involved in a financial battle with the family of a former Oxford University student has been found dead. 

National newspaper reports say that Magdalena Zalinska, 44, was found at her flat in Clapham in South London after police officers broke down the door. 

The reports claim that the nightclub boss was being sued by Edi Truell amid allegations she received around £4 million from Danny Truell before he died in 2019.

Mr Truell, who was aged 55 at the time of his death, studied at Balliol College at Oxford University. 

Founded in 1263, Balliol is one of Oxford’s oldest colleges and Mr Truell would frequently come across former Prime Minister Boris Johnson in debates.
