The remains of Sarah Mayhew, 38, were first discovered dismembered in Rowdown Fields, Croydon, on April 2.

The Met has now confirmed it believes other body parts found in Mitcham, south London, yesterday belonged to Sarah.
The remains were discovered in the Wandle River by contractors carrying out clean-up work.
Locals were left shocked after emergency crews pulled a “limbless torso” out of the water.
Sarah’s family has been informed of the tragic development and they are being supported by specially trained police officers.
Steven Sansom (44) and Gemma Watts (48) have been charged with Sarah’s murder.
A court hearing last month was told that Sarah’s head, arms and legs had already been discovered, but some of her remains were still missing.
An alarm was raised when a dog walking in the fields returned to its owner carrying a human bone.
Sansom and Watts were remanded in custody ahead of a June 27 plea hearing.
They are charged with murder and preventing the legal and dignified burial of the body.
Sansom is also charged with three counts of making indecent images of a child.
Detective Inspector Martin Thorpe, who is leading the investigation, said: “My thoughts remain with Sarah’s family. We will continue to provide support as our investigation progresses.
“I expect my officers to remain in the area for some time while they carry out important work at the scene.
“Two people arrested, who Sarah knew, were later charged with her murder. We are not currently seeking anyone else in connection with her death.
“Inquiries are ongoing.”
Anyone with information is asked to call 101 at number 1656/02.
