'Men, do better': Londoners hold vigil for Sarah Everard; Police revolts

<p>The London police has announced that the "human remains" found in woodland near Ashford have been identified to be of Sarah Everard, the 33-year-old woman who went missing a few days ago.</p>

<p>Sarah Everard was a 33-year-old marketing executive who had gone missing while walking home from a friend's apartment in south London on March 03 evening.</p>

<p>"The body has now been recovered and a formal identification procedure has taken place. I can now confirm that it is the body of Sarah Everard," Metropolitan Police assistant commissioner Nick Ephgrave told reporters.</p>

<p>This latest development has also come after detectives had been allotted more time to interrogate a serving member of the Metropolitan Police's elite diplomatic protection unit in connection with the case.</p>

<p>Ephgrave said hundreds of officers of MeT are "working around the clock to establish the full circumstances of Sarah's disappearance and her murder."</p>

<p>He also reported that a man is still in custody at the London police station "on suspicion of committing those crimes".</p>

<p>This case has sent shockwaves across the globe as it has highlighted the sad situation of women safety in the world, especially in a 'developed' city as London.</p>

<p>After the incident, officers of MeT went knocking on doors to urge women not to step out of their homes alone after sunset for their own safety.&nbsp;</p>

<p>This attracted massive criticism from locals and social media users who called for better security, instead of imposing restrictions on women.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Talking on the same lines, the baroness Jenny Jones suggested imposing a curfew for men instead of asking women to stay indoors.</p>

<p>"In the week that Sarah Everard was abducted and, we suppose, killed -- because remains have been found in a woodland in Kent -- I argue that, at the next opportunity for any bill that is appropriate, I might put in an amendment to create a curfew for men on the streets after," she said during a debate on domestic violence in the UK Parliament's House of Lords on Wednesday.
