Scene of crime officers today took away bags of items - including scissors and what appeared to be a long tool handle - from areas in Kent where they were investigating Sarah Everard s murder.
The forensic experts, dressed in blue protective suits, could be seen walking away from the four sites of interest in Sandwich with the plastic bags.
One had a pair of bandage cutting scissors inside while others contained a black item in a smaller zip lock pouch.
What appeared to be the handle to some kind of tool was put into a transparent protective tubing to take away for analysis.

A top Met Police boss has today defended the actions of officers at the Sarah Everard vigil saying they were doing their duty , after the force faced accusations of heavy-handedness.
Deputy Commissioner Sir Stephen House claimed police had faced abuse and had plastic water bottles thrown at them after asking crowds to disperse from Saturday s memorial event at Clapham Common.
He refused to apologise on behalf of officers, who he said had acted professionally and proportionately .
Sir Stephen said the vigil had complied with Covid rules during the day, but had become compacted in the evening as more people gathered.
