The slain teacher’s sister, Sabina Nyssa, burst into tears on Friday as she addressed thousands of mourners at a vigil marking the one-week anniversary of her murder.

“We have lost a wonderful, caring and beautiful sister, she left this world too early,” Jabina Yasmine Islam told the huge crowd at Bigler Square in Kidbok, southeast London.

“Words can’t describe how we feel, it feels like we are stuck in a bad dream and we can’t get out of it – our world is broken, we have simply lost words.

“No family should go through what we are going through.”

Nyssa, 28, was attacked and killed near the square while on her way to meet a friend.

A 38-year-old man arrested on suspicion of murder, was released under investigation earlier Friday, while police are still hunting for a man arrested at CCTV near the scene.

Moments before the vigil began, the Duchess of Cambridge said she was “sad to lose another innocent young woman on our streets”.

“My thoughts are with Sabina’s family and friends, and everyone affected by this tragic event,” she wrote on Twitter.

In March, the Duchess privately visited the memorial to murdered marketing executive Sarah Everard in Clapham Common, southwest London, after the 33-year-old officer was killed by off-duty police officer Wayne Cousins.

During the vigil, Shaheen Miah, the woman’s uncle, said the family was “shattered and stunned”.

The statement, which was read out at a parallel event at an East London mosque, said: “I appear before you with great sadness. We have no language to speak in these difficult times. There is no place for suffering like this.”

“We are grateful to all who have been harmed, protested, sympathized with and expressed concern for the safety of women across the UK, not just you, but across the UK.

“What adversity teaches us to unite, and gives us strength to fight injustice. Sabina is our grief today, Sabina is our courage today.”

Community safety officers were at the event, distributing personal attack alerts to the women.
