       What have Sabina Nessa's family and friends said about the tragedy?

       Her cousin Zubel Ahmed told ITV News: "She's been attacked on the way home and she was five minutes away from here walking home her usual route that she's been taking for the last few weeks where she's been working from school to home, going back and forth.

       "She was due to go and see her family at the weekend and even that... she couldn't even do that one last time unfortunately."

       Zubel paid tribute to his cousin and described her as the "sweetest person".

       He said the devastated family do not understand how "someone can do this".

       Zubel added: "We went and saw her parents, they are inconsolable. It's the worst way for someone to go.

       "The shock has not sunk in. She was a beautiful, kind, caring soul.

       "I express my deepest sympathies for her sisters - Mum and dad are absolutely devastated.

       "Nothing is making sense to us, why was she taken from us we just don't know."

       Sabina's death has sparked outrage after she joined a growing list of women killed in public spaces in London in recent months.

       Campaigners are now demanding action to tackle violence against women in the wake of the latest tragedy.

       Our Streets Now said: "It’s why we don’t walk where we want, when we want.

       “It’s why we tense at the sound of a car pulling up, or of a man crossing the street towards us.

       “It’s why 1 in 5 girls have avoided their place of education.

       “Please, stop telling us we’re overreacting.

       “Sabina Nessa, Sarah Everard, Bibaa Henry, Nicole Smallman.

       “And these are just the names that we remember.

       “Male violence is killing us. It’s restricting our right to be free and equal citizens.

       “We need change, now.”

       A candlelight vigil has been organised by Reclaim These Streets at 7pm September 23 in Kidbrooke Village.
