A woman arrested in connection with the abduction and death of Sarah Everard has had her bail extended.

Scotland Yard said a woman in her 30s who was arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender, had originally been released on bail to return to a police station on a date in mid-April. She has now been further bailed to return on a date in early June, the force said.

Everard went missing on 3 March while walking home after visiting a friend in Clapham, south-west London. The 33-year-old’s body was found hidden in an area of woodland near Ashford in Kent a week later on 10 March.

A serving Metropolitan police officer, 48-year-old Wayne Couzens from Deal in Kent, has been charged with her kidnap and murder. A provisional date has been set for his trial at the Old Bailey for 25 October, with a plea hearing on 9 July. The woman was arrested at the same time as Couzens.
