Kent Police were worried for their welfare and appealed for information to help locate the teenagers.

But in an update today, the force said: "Two teenage girls reported missing from Ashford on 15 March have been found safe and well.

"Thank you all for sharing our appeal to find them."

It came less than a week after Sarah Everard's body was found in woodland in Ashford.

The 33-year-old marketing executive from York had moved to London 12 years ago.

Sarah disappeared after leaving a friend's house in Clapham, South London, in the evening of March 3.

She left the property and began walking towards her home in Brixton.

At about 9.30pm, Sarah was spotted on CCTV walking alone on the A205 Poynders Road, from the junction with Cavendish Road, in the direction of Tulse Hill.

Wayne Couzens, 48, a police officer whose role it was to guard diplomatic premises, was charged with her kidnap and murder.

He appeared by videolink from prison at the British capital's Old Bailey central criminal court today.

A provisional trial date was set for October 25 and he is due to enter a plea in July.
