The woman who was arrested in connection with the abduction and murder of Sarah Everard has had her bail extended.
Sarah, 33, disappeared on March 3rd while walking home from a friend's house in Clapham, south London in the at around 9pm in the evening.
The body of the marketing executive was tragically found hidden in an area of woodland near Ashford in Kent, on March 10th.

Since her disappearance, serving police officer Wayne Couzens, 48, from Deal, Kent, was charged with her kidnap and murder.
Plus, police also arrested a woman in her 30s - who cannot be named for legal reasons - at the same time.
She was arrested on suspicion of helping Couzens, and was released on bail to return to a police station on a date in mid-April.

However, her bail extension means she now won't have to return until early June, the police have confirmed.
A provisional date has been set for Couzens' trial at the Old Bailey for October 25, with a plea hearing on July 9.
Should it go ahead, the trial itself is expected to take place from 25th October. This means they might not reach a verdict until November at the earliest.
Sarah's death prompted an outpouring of anger and grief from women, sparking protests in London demanding women's safety to be taken more seriously, and calling for tougher laws on crimes direct at women.

Women also took to social media to share what men could do to make them feel safer on the streets, and many men reached out too, in support of the movement.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson has since agreed that Sarah's tragic death should be a "watershed moment", vowing to work with leader of the opposition, Keir Starmer, to do more to protect women from violence.
It comes as a cross-party group of MPs want to make harassment from a vehicle an offence, while misogyny is set to become a hate crime in the UK.
