police investigating the killing of a 28-year-old woman in London say they are probing whether she was attacked by a stranger, in a case that sparked new concerns for the safety of women walking the capital's streets.

"We have to got give this issue the same seriousness we give other issues," he told ITV. More than 180 women have been killed by men across England from March 2020, he added. A man in his 40s was arrested on suspicion of murder but he has been released under further investigation. Results from a post-mortem examination carried out on Monday were inconclusive.

A cousin of Nessa told the BBC that the 28-year-old's parents are "inconsolable". Lisa Williams, the headteacher of Rushley Green Primary School where she worked, remembered Nessa as "brilliant", "kind" and "caring."
