Met police announcement follows search for 33-year-old who vanished in south London

A body found in woodland in Kent has been formally identified as that of Sarah Everard, as it emerged that the man arrested on suspicion of her kidnap and murder was the subject of two allegations of indecent exposure days before she disappeared.

The announcement by the Metropolitan police followed the discovery of human remains secreted in woodland in Ashford by officers searching for the marketing executive who vanished from the streets of south London on 3 March.
