The murder of Sarah Everard, allegedly carried out by a male Met Police officer, has provoked anger, fear and emotion nationwide, and brought many out onto the streets in protest.
The 33-year-old, who's body we now know has been found in Kent woodlands, is not a lone victim. Even in south London alone, several other woman have died at the hands of a man in just the past year.
Every year to mark International Women's Day, Labour MP Jess Phillips stands up in the House of Commons and lists all the women who have been killed by men in the last 12 months.
This year, on March 8, it took more than three minutes to read the list of names which came to 117.
The event was made even more sombre by the ongoing disappearance of Ms Everard, but her name is now sadly likely to be added to that list.
Also on the list were the names of nine women who have been killed in south London in the past year. In some cases there has yet to be a verdict, but they all include a man as the primary suspect.
1. Vanita Nowell
Vanita, aged 68, was found unresponsive at a residential address in Blake's Road in Camberwell on March 8, 2020.
She later died from head injuries and respiratory failure which were deemed to be suspicious.
Her 41-year-old son Steffon Hewitt, also known as Andrew Shepherd, was charged with her murder.
2. Dawn Bennett
Dawn was the victim of a fatal stabbing in Lewisham in June 2020, and died in hospital the day of her 59th birthday.
James Sealy, Dawn's son, was arrested on the day of the attack, which took place on June 10 in Lewisham Way,
Sealy, 31, later pleaded guilty to manslaughter with diminished responsibility at the Old Bailey Friday, and was sentenced to "an indefinite hospital order under Sections 37 and 41 of the Mental Health Act."
3. Kloemae Loy
Met Police named 23-year-old Kloemae Loy as the victim of a stabbing attack in a Holiday Inn in Greenwich on July 5, 2020.
