When the women of Kidbrooke in southeast London learned Sabina Nessa, an elementary school teacher living in their community, was found murdered in their local park, many had the same thought: It could have been me.

"Police said that she left her home to meet her friend in a local pub and it was just five minutes' walk for her. We often go to this pub and it is also around five, 10 minutes walk for us. You feel it might have happened to you. It might happen anywhere," Aliya Isaeva, a young mother who has been living in the area for about two years, told CNN.

The neighborhood is still struggling to come to terms with the murder. Throughout the week, people have been laying flowers in the park, lighting candles and leaving notes for Nessa's family. When a vigil was held at a square just up the road from the park on Friday evening, large crowds of people, mostly women, turned up.

The group was formed after the assault and murder of 33-year-old Sarah Everard in March. Everard went missing after leaving a friend's house in Clapham, south London, on May 3, and her disappearance sparked an outpouring across social media from women sharing their own experiences of sexual assault and harassment. A Metropolitan Police officer later pleaded guilty to murdering her.

"Right now the [local] council is giving out panic alarms and they're giving out pieces of paper saying you have to walk with somebody ... how is it all on us to protect ourselves rather than on society and the government and the police to keep us alive?" Klingler said.
