A second book of condolences for Sarah Everard has had more than 120 entries.

They were made within two hours today at a stall outside St George's Church in Deal and this comes the same day police search teams left an area in Dover.

Those siging wore masks and queued at least two metres apart in the open to comply with Covid restrictions.

The table with the book also had a display of candles, flowers and photographs of the the young victim.

One of the event's arrangers, Susan Carlyle, said: "People expressed their shock and sadness they feel that this has come to

our town and thanked the women who came together to arrange this.

"The signing of the book can continue if a business or community group or church is able to come forward so that more names can be added.

"Sarah has not been forgotten by the people of Deal."

Ms Carlyle added that an informal group called Reclaim These Streets- Deal is exploring the safety aspects for women living in the town and hoping to work with local authorities on questions of violence and harassment in the future.

A memorial walk for Sarah is planned and a formation of a line of stones by Deal Castle has already been laid.

Another book of condolences had been opened in Sandwich on Thursday.

Sarah Everard, 33, went missing in London on March 3 and was found dead a week later.

Deal has been a main focus in the murder investigation since March 9 after serving Metropolitan Police officer Wayne Couzens was arrested at his home in Freemen's Way.

Over the last couple of weeks Met officers have poured into Kent as part of the investigation.

They have been in the Great Chart area of Ashford where Sarah's body was found on March 10.

They were also in Dover searching Couzens' former workplace the now disused BCB garage in Centre Road.

On Thursday they returned to the area, cutting off half a mile of Centre Road and North Military Road, but left the area today.

The road had been closed from its junctions with Bowling Green Terrace and Citadel Road.

The Met also arrived in Sandwich last Sunday to search parts of the town over several days.

Couzens appeared in court on Tuesday charged with kidnap and murder and was remanded in custody.

CCTV has also been erected outside his Deal home amid fears of vigilante attacks.
