Police identify human remains found in Croydon park as Sarah Mayhew
[…]The remains of Sarah Mayhew were discovered in Rowdown Fields in New Addington, Croydon, on the morning of 2 April.
The Metropolitan police said the family of Mayhew, who was from Croydon, had been informed of her death and were being supported by specially trained family liaison officers.
A 44-year-old man and a 48-year-old woman who were arrested on Saturday on suspicion of murder remained in custody pending further enquiries, the force added.
[…] The two people in custody were known to Sarah and at present we are not looking for anyone else in connection with her death.”
Ch Supt Andy Brittain, the lead for policing in Croydon, said: […] “Your local policing teams will continue to be visible and available to discuss your concerns, and answer any questions you may have as best we can. We repeat our thanks for the support and patience of the public, which has allowed officers to carry out important enquiries at the scene.”
Last week the Met said it had consulted a forensic anthropologist who confirmed that the remains came from one victim. The force said at the time it was not searching any other sites.
