New CCTV footage showing the last known images of missing student nurse Owami Davies has been released by the Metropolitan Police.

The footage, taken at around 12:30am on Thursday 7 July, shows Ms Davies in a dark jacket, red T-shirt, light grey joggers, slider-type shoes and carrying a white handbag over her shoulder.

The 24-year-old can be seen walking north on London Road, Croydon, away from West Croydon.

Detective Chief Inspector Nigel Penney, who is leading the investigation, said: “This latest CCTV shows Owami wearing a distinctive red top and heading towards the Norbury area.

“I would ask members of the public who were in this area, or nearby roads, to think back and call us if they remember seeing Owami and please do not underestimate how important your call could be.”

Ms Davies had left her family home in Grays, Essex, on 4 July, three days before her disappearance.

Her mother, Nicol Davies, made an emotional appeal for information about her whereabouts last week.

She said: “I sit here as a desperate mother at the mercy of anyone that knows or heard something to help me find my baby, that’s all I’m asking, just help to find her.”

Five people have been arrested over her disappearances, for offences of suspected murder or kidnap.

All have since been released on bail.

Anyone with information should call the incident room on 020 8721 4622, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
