The protesters marched for 10 miles across London
HUNDREDS of women marched 10 miles across London today to mark the anniversary of the murders of Nicole Smallman and Bibaa Henry.
The march set off from Fryent Park, north London — where the two sisters were killed in June 2020 — at midday, with the aim of reaching Scotland Yard later that evening.
The Women’s Equality Party said it had organised the march to demand an end to racism and misogyny in the Metropolitan Police.
