Suspected human remains have been found during the search for a woman believed to have been kidnapped and murdered by a London police officer – a case that has sent shockwaves through the United Kingdom and raised questions about women’s safety.
Sarah Everard, 33, vanished shortly after 21:00 GMT while walking home from a friend’s apartment in south London on March 3.
On Wednesday, London police chief Cressida Dick said officers investigating her disappearance had found “what appears to be human remains” in a woodland near Ashford, a town in the neighbouring county of Kent.
“At this early stage we are not able to confirm any identity, and indeed that may take us some considerable time,” Dick, the head of the Metropolitan Police Service (Met), said.
