A man has been arrested on suspicion of murdering Sabina Nessa at a park in south-east London last week.
The man, aged 38, was arrested at an address in Lewisham and was taken into custody, where he remained on Thursday night.
Miss Nessa’s body was found near a community centre in Cator Park, Kidbrooke, at 5:30pm on Saturday 18 September. Police suspect she was attacked at around 8:30pm the previous evening after leaving her flat.
Police released images of a man they wish to speak to in connection with the murder and an image of a silver vehicle they believe he had access to in the Pegler Square area, near where Miss Nessa's body was discovered.
Detective Chief Inspector Neil John, from the Met’s Specialist Crime Command, said: “Our team have been working tirelessly to find the person responsible for Sabina’s murder and this has included an extensive trawl of CCTV, work which remains ongoing.
“We would ask anyone – especially those in Kidbrooke and the wider area of Lewisham and Greenwich – to take a careful look at these images to check whether you know who this man is or have seen him over recent days.
“Any information as to his identity or whereabouts could be vital for our investigation so we are asking you to share this image far and wide to ensure as many people as possible see it.”
