Sabina Nessa: Vigil held at Sub Rooms for teacher

A candlelight vigil outside the Sub Rooms was held in memory of primary school teacher Sabina Nessa who was found dead in a south London park.

The 28-year-old’s body was found hidden under a pile of leaves by a dog walker in Cator Park, Kidbrooke, on Saturday.

The candlelight vigil in Stroud this evening was organised by Nabeela Akhtar, who said: “With respect to Sabina Nessa and all the women, we keep losing to such violence. Solidarity with those amongst us who fear or have experienced violence themselves.”

Police have arrested a 38-year-old man on suspicion of Sabina’s murder.
