Sarah Everard’s killer might have been identified as threat sooner, police admit

Details of indecent exposure claims emerge as ex-Met officer Wayne Couzens is given whole-life sentence

Police have accepted they may have had enough information to identify Wayne Couzens as a threat to women before he raped and killed Sarah Everard.

Couzens was handed a rare whole-life sentence on Thursday, meaning he will spend the rest of his life in jail. The judge said his crimes were as serious as a terrorist atrocity because he abused his powers as a police officer.
