A man has been arrested on suspicion of murder by police investigating the death of south-east London primary school teacher Sabina Nessa. | |
A 38-year-old man was arrested in East Sussex at about 03:00 BST, in what Scotland Yard described as a "significant development". | |
Ms Nessa's family has been informed of the development, the Met Police said. | |
The 28-year-old was attacked while walking to meet a friend at The Depot bar, Kidbrooke, on 17 September. | |
She had earlier left her home in nearby Astell Road and her body was found the next day in Cator Park by a member of the public. | |
Scotland Yard previously released CCTV footage of a man filmed walking close to the park, through Pegler Square, on the night Ms Nessa was attacked. | |
Two other men arrested last week on suspicion of murder were later released pending further investigation. | |
People have continued to leave tributes and candles in Pegler Square, while a book of condolence was opened on Saturday in the One Space community centre, near to where Ms Nessa's body was found. | |
