Residents are being asked to join the monthly vigil on Twickenham Green on Monday to remember the women killed by men.

The event at 6pm on December 6 is organised by the Women's Equality Party and is held at the beginning of each month.

The focal point for the vigil is the memorial bench for Amélie Delagrange.

Amélie was a French tourist visiting Twickenham in 2004 when she was murdered by serial killer Levi Bellfield.

Jill Lorimer, the head of campaigns for the Richmond group, said the appalling death toll is some 3.6 women each week.

"Please meet us on Twickenham Green at 6pm to demand that this social epidemic is taken as seriously as it would be if it were women killing men," she said.

The issue has taken on a greater significance in the wake of the murder in London of Sarah Everard by serving police officer, Wayne Couzens.

The first of these vigils took place on September 2nd and featured a small police presence.
