LONDON (Reuters) – British police said on Friday that human remains found in a wood outside London was the body of Sarah Everard, whose disappearance last week has sparked anger and fears among women about their safety. Everard disappeared while walking home from a friend’s house in south London last Wednesday and police have arrested a serving officer on suspicion of her kidnap and murder. Detectives discovered a body in woodland two days ago and London Assistant Commissioner Nick Ephgrave confirmed that it was of the missing 33-year-old. “I know that the public feel hurt and angry about what has happened, and those are sentiments that I share personally,” Ephgrave said outside the London police headquarters. A woman in her 30s, who media said was his partner, was released on police bail having been detained on suspicion of assisting an offender.
