Hundreds hold vigil in London

Hundreds of people gathered in southeast London on Friday night at a vigil for Sabina Nessa, a 28-year-old British-Bangladeshi teacher who was found dead in a park, the latest case to spark public concern about women's safety.

The primary school teacher disappeared a week ago after leaving her home to go to a bar just five minutes' walk away. Her body was found by a member of the public the following day hidden in a pile of leaves.

The young woman's death, like that of 33-year-old Sarah Everard, has galvanised public opinion over the safety of women in public spaces. Carroll, a 35-year-old teacher, told AFP that Nessa's death had caused her to fear for her own safety.
