Edinburgh Sarah Everard vigil held at Scottish Parliament one year on from murder

An Edinburgh vigil was held last night at the Scottish Parliament in remembrance of Sarah Everard who was kidnapped, raped and murdered last year by a serving Metropolitan police officer.

Around 100 people gathered outside Holyrood in the dim light of the early evening to remember the 33-year-old and the many other women who have been murdered by men, and felt unsafe in their daily lives.

The memorial event organised by the Edinburgh students behind Strut Safe, was held on Thursday evening, 12 months to the day since the 33-year-old was kidnapped off the streets as she walked home in South London.
