The sister of murdered schoolteacher Sabina Nessa paid an emotional tribute at a vigil this evening.

Jebina Yasmin Islam broke down as she addressed crowd at Pegler Square, Kidbrooke, southeast London.

She said: ‘We have lost an amazing, caring, beautiful sister, who left this world far too early.

‘Words cannot describe how we are feeling, this feels like we are stuck in a bad dream and can’t get out of it. Our world is shattered, we are simply lost for words.’

Hundreds of people attended the scene this evening, right by the pub where Sabina was on her way to when she was attacked last Friday.

The journey to The Depot bar from her home in Greenwich would have taken her just five minutes, but she never made it.

Her body wasn’t discovered until 5.30pm the following afternoon when a dog walker found her buried under a pile of leaves in nearby Cator Park.

Investigators are said to have obtained CCTV footage showing her being stuck on the head with an object minutes after stepping out of her front door.

A police source told the Telegraph a man was seen carrying her over his shoulder towards the park.
