A man arrested in the Sabina Nessa murder investigation has been released, the Met Police announced on Friday evening (September 24), as the community gathered at a vigil to remember the primary school teacher.

The 38-year-old man was arrested at an address in Lewisham on Thursday but has since been released "under investigation" a Met spokesperson said.

Detectives are continuing to appeal for information about a man captured on CCTV in Pegler Square in Kidbrooke on the evening Sabina was fatally attacked.

Two images, as well as CCTV footage, has been released and police are urging anyone who recognises the man or a silver vehicle they believe he has access to to make contact immediately.

"We want to thank those who have shared our image appeal over the last 24 hours – it has gained a huge amount of coverage and we are extremely grateful for the public’s help," Detective Chief Inspector Neil John said.

"We are now a week on from Sabina’s murder and while we have made good progress with our investigation we must keep this appeal for information going and encourage anyone who has any information to come forward," he added.

As News Shopper reported, detectives believe Sabina left her home address on Astell Road just before 8.30pm on Friday (September 17).

It is thought she was making her way through Cator Park towards The Depot bar on Pegler Square, Kidbrooke Village where she planned to meet a friend.

Sabina never arrived at the pub and is thought to have been murdered as she walked through the park.

Her body was found close to the OneSpace community centre a day later. Police said a post-mortem examination held on Monday (September 20) was "inconclusive".

Sabina's death prompted a renewed outcry against the prevalence of male violence against women in society.

On Friday, a vigil commencing at 7pm took place at Pegler Square with many members of the community attending to pay their respects.
