This is the last confirmed sighting of a teenager before she was murdered.

Lucy McHugh's body was found at a sports centre near her Southampton home on July 26, after she had been stabbed to death.

Detectives attempting to piece together the schoolgirl's final moments have now revealed what they know to be her movements in the morning - in the hope it may help witnesses come forward.

This footage shows Lucy walking at 9.30am at the Tesco Express on the corner of Coxford Road and Lordswood Road in Southampton.

In the footage she is holding her jacket.

Detective Superintendent Paul Barton said: 'Since leaving her house in Mansel Road East at 9am on Wednesday 25 July, we now know that Lucy was close to the Sports Centre just half an hour later.

Lucy was wearing distinctive leggings and a white top with trainers and was carrying a baseball style jacket when she went missing

'We need to know how she reached the Tesco Express and where she went next.

'Maybe you were driving or cycling past at that time and can remember something. You may even have dash cam or action camera footage.

'We're really hoping the CCTV footage will jog people's memories so that we can further build up a picture of Lucy's movements.

'You will see that Lucy was carrying her jacket at the time. It was a hot day, so you may have seen her wearing a white vest top.

'We're also asking runners or walkers to check their mapping apps for the period in question.

'They may realise they were close to the scene of the murder and have information that might be useful to our investigation.'

Lucy's mum Stacey White, 31, made a desperate plea for help finding her daughter when she went missing from her home on Wednesday July 25.

Despite police, her family and friends searching, her body was not found until the following morning in woodland at Southampton Sports Centre at around 7.45am.

Since her death, officers have scoured hedgerows, drains and woodland surrounding the sports centre in a bid to find the weapon used to stab Lucy - which they believe could even be scissors.

A man has been remanded in custody since her death.

Stephen-Alan Nicholson, 24, is being held for failing to co-operate with police in their investigation into Lucy McHugh's death.

He appeared charged under the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act at Southampton Magistrates' Court for the offence which carries a maximum penalty of two years' imprisonment.

The court was told he had failed to provide his password to police investigating any private messages sent between himself and the teenager on Facebook.

A GoFundMe page set up by Max Kelly, of Southampton, has now reached £6,575 - more than £1,500 over the original target.

In a post on the fundraising page, Mr Kelly said: 'Imagine unexpectedly losing your child; I couldn't imagine the pain could you?

'Now imagine on top of that having to find funeral costs etc while grieving - not something any parent should have to do.

'Sharing a status saying r.i.p doesn't help the family. Helping them give their beautiful girl the send off she deserves with whatever you can afford to give helps the family.'

Almost 400 people have donated to the funeral costs since Mr Kelly set up the page three days ago, while Test Valley crematorium in Romsey, Hants, has offered to hold the service for free.
