Police investigating the murder of Sabina Nessa in Kidbrooke this week have released video footage in their ongoing appeal to gather information on the killing.
The footage shows a man walking in Pegler Square, Kidbrooke, on the evening Sabina was fatally attacked.
As News Shopper reported previously, detectives understand that Sabina left her home address on Astell Road, SE3 just before 8.30pm on Friday, September 17.
It is believed that 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 on Friday night as she walked through the park.
A man aged 38 has been arrested at an address in Lewisham on suspicion of murder. He was taken into custody where he remains.
On Friday night, we will join Sabina Nessa’s community in solidarity against violence against women and to acknowledge her life. Join us in Peglar Square at 7pm. If you can't join in person, please light a candle at 7pm on your doorstep.

The case has prompted renewed outcry about the prevalence of male violence against women in the UK, and comes just months after Sarah Everard was murdered in south London by a then serving Met Police officer Wayne Couzens in Clapham on March 3.
Reclaim These Streets, the a social movement that launched in the wake of Sarah's death, is holding a vigil for Sabina later this evening on Peglar Square at 7pm.
"We are angry and heartbroken to hear about the loss of yet another woman. This is an epidemic of violence against women. Enough with reports, what is the actual plan to keep us safe and alive?" One statement released by the group after news of Sabina's murder broke read.
Police meanwhile continue their information appeal.
"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," Detective Chief Inspector Neil John, from the Met’s Specialist Crime Command, said.
Anyone with information should call the Met incident room on 0208 721 4266 or Crimestoppers completely anonymously on 0800 555 111.
