In September, she was re-bailed until January.
A Metropolitan Police spokesman said: "The woman has been released under investigation."
Unlike bail, there are no conditions and no requirement to return to a police station on a specified future date.
Inquests into the deaths of Nuria and Selena were opened and adjourned at Inner West London Coroner's Court on 12 July last year.
