Human remains have been discovered on the search for Sarah Everard, who went missing in Clapham on March 3rd.

Everard, 33, was last seen in Clapham at approximately 9pm last Wednesday, after leaving a friend’s home in Leathwaite Road. It’s understood that she spoke to her partner on the phone after leaving, with the call ending at 9.28pm.

The last known sighting of her came as the result of a doorbell camera in Clapham.

The camera showed Everard walking alone along the A205 Poynders Road towards Tulse Hill, just south of Brixton, at approximately 9.30pm.

Since her disappearance, a Met police officer was arrested on suspicion or murder on Tuesday night, having initially been detained on suspicion of kidnapping.

And in the latest development of this tragic story, human remains have been found on the search to find Everard.

Met Police Commissioner Cressida Dick said at a news briefing: “This evening detectives and search teams investigating Sarah’s disappearance have found, very sadly, what appears to be human remains in an area of woodland in Ashford in Kent.”

Officers who discovered the remains have not been able to identify the victim’s identity.
