Sarah Mayhew: Human remains found in river believed to be of woman 'dismembered with power tools'

Human remains found in a river in south London are believed to be of Sarah Mayhew, police have said. Remains of the 38-year-old, who was last seen in Sutton, southwest London, on the evening of 8 March, were first found by a dog walker in Rowndown Fields in Croydon on 2 April. The dog uncovered a human bone and Ms Mayhew's arms, legs and head were later found nearby. On 11 April, the Old Bailey heard that police were still looking for her torso.

They were known to the victim, police said. It is alleged Ms Mayhew was killed at a residential property before her body was dismembered with power tools, the court heard. An examination of her body found two small vertebrae broken in her voicebox, bruising to the skull, and her head had been shaved. Detective Inspector Martin Thorpe, who is leading the investigation, said: 'My thoughts remain with Sarah's family. We will continue to provide our support as our investigation progresses.
