The Independent Report into Wayne Couzens and the Murder of Sarah Everard

An independent report is due to be released, shedding light on the failures of Kent Constabulary and the Metropolitan Police in detecting warning signs before the tragic rape and murder of Sarah Everard by police officer Wayne Couzens.

Prior to the heinous crime, Couzens had indecently exposed himself on three separate occasions, including two incidents at a drive-through fast-food establishment in Kent. Despite these red flags, he managed to evade capture, eventually going on to kidnap, rape, and murder Sarah Everard in March 2021.

The findings of the report, conducted by Dame Elish Angiolini, are set to be made public on Thursday morning, providing insights into the policing career of Wayne Couzens and the missed opportunities to prevent the horrific crime.
