Who would have thought that, in 2021, the suspected attacker of a woman walking home in London would be a member of an institution that should have been there to protect her?
There’s been an outpouring of anger across the UK after the police found human remains in Kent, now confirmed to be those of Sarah Everard, 33, who disappeared last week on her way home from a friend’s house in Clapham, south London.
We don’t know much about the man who’s been detained and questioned on suspicion of Everard’s kidnapping and murder. We know that his name is Wayne Couzens, that he is also being questioned about a separate allegation of indecent exposure – and that he is a serving Metropolitan Police officer who was off-duty at the time of her disappearance.

LONDON Sarah Everard is a name now etched in British history.
The killing of Ms. Everard, a 33-year-old marketing executive who disappeared while walking home through a busy London borough on March 3 and whose remains were found a week later some 50 miles away, set off an extraordinary outpouring of grief and anger.
She joins the tragic company of murdered British women among them Milly Dowler, Joy Morgan, Suzy Lamplugh, Rachel Nickell in a country where over the past 10 years, on average, a woman is killed by a man every three days.
