Police want to trace a man seen in the park

Miss Muller's father Erich, mother Eileen and sister Theresia, flew in from their home in Virginia in the United States on Sunday.

Mr Muller accompanied by his daughter spent spent 10 minutes looking through floral tributes on Monday.

Later they made a public appeal for help in tracking down the killer.

Mr Muller begged people to "search their hearts and minds" to remember if they had seen anyone acting suspiciously.

Police are still seeking a man seen with Miss Muller, or a woman who looked like her, at the time of the murder.

He was described as six feet tall, of medium build with dark hair and ginger stubble. He was wearing a yellow-orange running top.

'Random attack'

They have also released an e-fit of one of two men seen running from the park on the morning of the murder.

Margaret Muller had moved to London from the United States in 1998 and studied and worked at the Slade School of Fine Art.

Detective Chief Superintendent John Shatford, who is leading the police investigation, said the killing was probably a random attack.

He said Miss Muller had not been following a normal routine and the attacker had probably been waiting for anyone who was passing.
