Sabina Nessa was murdered in a “premeditated and predatory” attack by a stranger, a court was told yesterday.
The 28-year-old primary school teacher is believed to have been pursued and then struck repeatedly over the head with a two-foot long blunt object at about 8.30pm on Friday, September 17. She had been crossing a park to meet a date at a bar five minutes from her flat in Kidbrooke, southeast London. Her body was found covered with leaves on a grassy slope near a community centre the next day, the Old Bailey was told.
