Her body was found by a dog walker early on Saturday evening covered in leaves with cops now hunting her killer.

Hundreds of mourners last night attended a poignant candlelit vigil for the “brilliant” teacher.

Her sister, Jebina, broke down in tears as she paid an emotional tribute.

“We have lost an amazing, caring, beautiful sister, who left this world far too early,” she said.

“Sabina loved her family. It feels like we’re stuck in a bad dream and cannot get out of it.”

As she struggled through tears she said: “Our world is shattered. No family should go through what our family is going through.

“She didn’t reach her 29th birthday next month.”

The Duchess of Cambridge – who left flowers at the vigil for Sarah Everard -said her thoughts were with Sabina’s family and friend.

She tweeted that she was “saddened by the loss of another innocent young woman on our streets”.

Boris Johnson also sent a message of support to Sabina’s family.

“My thoughts are with the family and friends of Sabina Nessa at this deeply distressing time and I will be thinking of them tonight as people come together to pay their respects,” the PM tweeted.

“We will do everything we can to prevent these abhorrent crimes and make our streets safer.”

Police arrested a 38-year-old man from Lewisham, South London, on suspicion of murder before he was released under investigation.

Detectives have released CCTV footage of a second man, they are looking to speak to in connection with their probe.

Sabina’s death has sparked outrage after she joined a growing list of women killed in public spaces in London.

Campaigners are now demanding action to tackle violence against women in the wake of the latest tragedy.

Sabina Nessa was one of four sisters, lived in London and worked as a Year 1 teacher at Rushey Green Primary School in Catford, South East London.

Detectives say that Sabina left her home address on Astell Road just before 8.30pm on Friday, September 17. 

According to a friend, she was “excited” for the date with a man that she had known for some time before romance blossomed.

It’s believed that she was murdered as she walked through the park, on her way to meet her date at the Depot bar.

Police have also reportedly obtained footage of the moment that Sabina was attacked as she left her home for the date. 

A source told the Daily Telegraph that Sabina was struck over the head with an “object” and carried away over the attacker’s shoulder towards Cator Park.
