The Scotland Yard agent arrested yesterday for the death of Sarah Everard, the 33-year-old who disappeared into thin air on March 3 at about nine in the evening on the way between two London residential neighborhoods, was formally accused of kidnapping and murder.
The BBC reports.
The body had been found in recent days during a joke conducted in a wood in Kent, in the south of England, the county where Wayne Couzens, 48, is resident, who is today to appear in court.
In the past two days, the officer has been taken to the emergency room twice for head injuries he obtained in his cell.
Victim's remains identified -
The official identification of the remains of Sarah Everard has also arrived, the 33-year-old British woman who disappeared into thin air on March 3 last around nine in the evening on the way between two residential districts of London and whose fate has horrified the entire United Kingdom, causing fear and alarm in the capital, as well as a generalized protest by women against the insecurity of the streets. The body had been found in recent days during a hunt conducted in a wood in Kent, in southern England, the county where the Scotland Yard policeman arrested as an alleged murderer resides. That the woman had been killed had been clear for two days, after the policeman - initially suspected only of kidnapping - was also charged with murder. The man, a forty-year-old serving in the elite unit responsible for the armed surveillance of London's palaces of power (including Downing Street or Westminster), embassies and diplomatic offices, appears to have already been involved in at least one episode of lewd acts not recorded by colleagues however. At the moment he remains in detention and under interrogation, while his wife is accused of aiding and abetting.
