Hundreds pay respects at vigil for Bangladeshi-British teacher
Hundreds of people have joined a vigil for teacher Sabina Nessa who was killed as she walked to a pub in south-east London.
The 28-year-old was discovered in Cator Park in Kidbrooke by a member of the public last Saturday.
She had been walking to meet a friend at The Depot bar last Friday, a journey which "should have taken five minutes".
More than 500 people have gathered at Pegler Square, not far from where a wanted suspect was captured on CCTV.
Jebina Yasmin Islam, Sabina Nessa's sister, broke down as she addressed crowds at the vigil.
She said: "I just want to say thank you to everyone who came today to show support for my sister.
"We have lost an amazing, caring, beautiful sister, who left this world far too early."
She told the crowd how Sabina had loved her family.
She said: "Words cannot describe how we are feeling, this feels like we are stuck in a bad dream and can't get out of it - our world is shattered, we are simply lost for words.
"No family should go through what we are going through."
Ms Nessa's uncle, Shahin Miah, described his niece as "a kind and a open-minded person", who was "always smiling and helping others".
He said Ms Nessa's death has "once again brought to the fore the question of women's safety on the streets".
In his statement, he said: "We don't want what happened to Sabina to happen to anyone else.
"We don't want any other mother's chest to be empty or filled with deep sorrow, or to see the tears in the eyes of any father."
As the police investigation continues officers want to identify a balding man, who was seen with something in his hands, who could be "vital" to the case.
The wanted man, who was wearing grey jeans and a black jacket, can be seen looking over his shoulder and pulling up his hood as he walks along the pavement.
Metropolitan Police Assistant Commissioner Louisa Rolfe urged anyone who may know the man to contact them.
Two men arrested on suspicion of Ms Nessa's murder have now been released pending further investigation.
The Duchess of Cambridge said she was "saddened by the loss of another innocent young woman on our streets" as police continued the hunt for Ms Nessa's killer.
In March, the duchess privately visited the memorial to murdered marketing executive Sarah Everard in Clapham Common, south-west London, after the 33-year-old was killed by off-duty police officer Wayne Couzens.
A candle was also lit outside No 10 Downing Street in memory of Ms Nessa.
