UK - Sabina Nessa, 28, found murdered in park, SE London, 18 Sep 2021 *Arrest*

I'm getting confused. The man captured on CCTV hitting SN on her head, is NOT the balding man with beard with silver car?
If this is the case, could grey trouser man have witnessed something, panicked and ran away? Maybe he was up to no good regarding something else, but witnessed SN"s attack. Just trying to think outside the box. JMO.

I really thought with such clear cctv they would have a firm identity by now surprised to sea further cctv released

The mention of the car makes me think the unidentified CCTV man might have been some sort of 'getaway driver' for the perpetrator? But the police genuinely don't seem to know who he is?

My head is spinning trying to work things out.

If he was a getaway driver I would have thought he would have stayed in the car.

Yes, that's what I thought, man with car, was helping.

Still think this is a jealousy/revenge thing. Will be very surprised if it transpires she didn't know either of these two in some way.

 

[JosephineRobert]

It's confusing.

The description of the CCTV footage of the attack from the police source suggests one perpetrator but possible there was another person there too who fled the scene separately?

 

[DFR3217]

Just a random thought. Seeing as Peglar Square is at the other end of the park, could the attacker have walked through the park, hid SN's body, and then phoned someone he knew to get a lift? and that was cctv man. He's looking around a lot as if he is a bit worried. Pure speculation, obviously.

Well my last post was completely wrong, according to this the police are saying the murder suspect may still be at large, and want to identify the man in the cctv. So who have they arrested then? Statement by assistant commissioner Louise Rolfe.

Looking like a murder for hire situation where they've arrested the ex for planning it and the perpetrator is at large as you say. Would also explain why the police don't know the wanted man's identity. JMO

How common is “murder for hire” when it comes to supposed “hit” on a south london Primary School teacher?

I get this is what it looks like. But is it seriously something that can be arranged quite easily (given the blowback as per this situation is immense as demonstrated by the news coverage).

Or they have a very strong suspicion but not enough for an arrest warrant yet. Someone independently naming him might tip the balance in their favour.

 

[Pinkizzy]

The police can't say balding man or the man in custody is the killer otherwise it will prejudice their trials. Didn't the detective for Julia James murder say that a certain man could help with their enquires and he turned out to be the alleged killer?

Crikey. Right. Could be completely off in my speculating then!

Seems that The Telegraph leak re a hammer attack outside SN's flat isn't something the police want(ed) publicly known yet?

"Rolfe added she did not believe the two men who had been arrested in connection with the murder were known to each other."

Interesting.

Through a grapevine of mates in a tightly knit community?
You know - A mate of a mate and then of yet another mate? All sympathizing with jilted and thus ridiculed ex? MOO

Interesting.

Could be she was asked a direct question by a reporter and did not want to reveal that there is a connection between the two men.

Hunt for SECOND man in Sabina Nessa murder | Daily Mail Online


Ms Nessa's family released a new statement reiterating their shock over her horrifying murder as further details of the case were reported overnight.

Footage showed Sabina being struck on the head by an assailant wielding a weapon just moments after she left her flat, before she was slung over his shoulder and dumped in a local park, it is claimed.

Sabina's sister Jebina Yasmin Islam said: 'We as a family are shocked of the murder of our sister, daughter and aunty to my girls.

'There are no words to describe how we are feeling as a family at the moment. We did not expect that something like this would ever happen to us.

'I urge everyone to walk on busy streets when walking home from work, school or a friend's homes. Please keep safe.

Police are investigating whether the attack started outside the block of flats where Nessa lived, with the victim forcibly taken to nearby Cator Park where she was killed, it is understood.
