Her name was Elianne Andam.

It always enrages and bewilders me when they keep the person anonymous in headlines instead of saying their name

There was some confusion about her first name at first, though, so I can kind of see why they did here.

Yeah but the link to the article included the name, so I am not sure that is a good excuse. They seemed to have the name when creating the article, otherwise how could it show up in the URL?

The name in the URL is the wrong one, though - her first name is misspelled.

It's simply because a headline like this is much more useful for people coming to the story for the first time, or who aren't deeply familiar with the story. It's not a sleight on her. Also at the time of publication, I think her name had only recently been released by the police.
I agree that the BBC's style of headline is better, though https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-66942594
