A fourth person has been arrested on suspicion of murder by Met police detectives investigating the disappearance of 24-year-old student nurse Owami Davies.
A 22-year-old man was arrested at a property in Croydon, South London yesterday evening (August 3).
Three other men, aged 23, 27 and 32, who were previously arrested on suspicion of murder as part of the investigation also all remain in custody after police obtained warrants for their further detention.
Owami Davies, 24, of Grays, Essex, was last seen 'in a vulnerable state' just after midnight on July 7 in west Croydon - three days after leaving her family home.
She has now been missing for four weeks and police say their priority remains finding her.
CCTV footage released by the Metropolitan Police shows Owami crossing Derby Road in west Croydon with a mystery man as a white van pulls out into the road.
The van driver would have had a good opportunity to see them both clearly and officers are appealing this possible witness to come forward.
Owami is described as a 'caring', 'loving' and 'doting' by her distraught mother, Nicol.
