Two women arrested and fined for attending the Clapham Common vigil for murdered Sarah Everard have given an emotional interview about what happened that night.

Patsy Stevenson and Dania Al-Obeid took legal action against the force and have since been paid “substantial” damages by Scotland Yard.

Holding back the tears, Ms Stevenson said: “We were not with any protestors. We went to put a candle down and that was it, but women needed our help.”

Ms Al Obeid said: “It felt like we were not allowed to be angry or say anything. It was us against them and we weren’t allowed a voice and that is why it is so emotional.”
