Despite a friend of Kamonnan calling the police at 7.05pm and 9.34pm on Sunday with welfare concerns, cops didn't attend.
An elderly neighbour said: "I did hear very, very high-pitched screams on Sunday evening coming from that direction.
"A series of screams. I recall two - I'm very sensitive to sound. They were very unusual.
"There was no other sound other than the screams, then silence after.
"I was in my room and I thought, 'That's very strange'. Then I recall there was a sound from the other side of my house."
The Bayswater address used to be owned by the Ethiopian embassy, locals said.
The Met has referred itself to the police watchdog following the incident.
