Earlier in the day, UK Metropolitan Police released a statement regarding the investigation of the disappearance of Sarah Everard, who vanished on 3 March in London. According to the statement, a man has been arrested in connection with the incident on suspicion of murder and kidnapping.

The chief of London's Metropolitan Police, Dame Cressida Dick, stated on Wednesday that police officers searching for a missing woman have discovered what appeared to be unidentified human remains in the southeast of England, in the city of Ashford of Kent county.

"This evening, detectives and search teams investigating Sarah's disappearance have found very sadly what appears to be human remains", she said in a televised statement. "As you can imagine, at this early stage we are not able to confirm any identity, and indeed, that may take us some considerable time."

Police were searching for Sarah Everard, who disappeared last week after visiting a friend's house in Clapham, London.
