A MAN has been charged with the murder of Sabina Nessa, who was killed near her home in south London.

Koci Selamaj, 36, was arrested on Sunday morning in Eastbourne, over a week after the body of the 28-year-old schoolteacher was found.

Sabina is believed to have left her home in Kidbrooke at around 8.30pm on September 17 and is thought to have been heading to a bar to visit a friend.

However, she was found dead the following day near a community centre close to her home.

Detectives investigating her murder were earlier spotted at an address in Eastbourne.

A flat on Terminus Road has been searched and guarded by police officers since Friday, it has been reported.

He will appear at Willesden Magistrates' Court on Tuesday, the Metropolitan Police said.
