Photo: LEON NEAL/Getty Images In early March, a London woman vanished on her way home from a friend’s house: 33-year-old Sarah Everard was last seen on doorbell-camera footage while walking through the city’s Clapham neighborhood on March 3, around 9:30 at night.
Police arrested a member of the Met’s diplomatic protection unit. On March 9, police announced the arrest of a Met officer on suspicion of kidnapping, which they subsequently escalated to suspicion of murder. They also arrested a woman in her 30s, on suspicion of assisting an offender. The Guardian identified the officer as 48-year-old Wayne Couzens, a member of the parliamentary and diplomatic protection command that patrols government premises such as 10 Downing Street.
Human remains were located during the search and eventually identified as Everard’s. In addition to searching a residence in Deal, authorities searched a wooded area in Ashford, Kent, where they found “what appears to be human remains,” Dick said on March 10. Two days later, Ephgrave delivered the tragic news: that the remains, a body, had been identified as Everard.
