Sarah Everard, who went missing on March 3, 2021.Sarah's tragic death caused outrage in London and across the country, particularly after it was discovered that she was murdered by Wayne Couzens, a serving Met Police officer.Couzens' conviction, the rough dispersal of a vigil for Sarah on Clapham Common, as well as a number of other scandals in which sexist Whatsapp conversations revealed widespread inappropriate behaviour within the force, ultimately led to a loss of confidence in the Met.Recently, Commissioner Dame Cressida Dick was forced to resign by London Mayor Sadiq Khan after yet more scandals involving police officers surfaced.The Met said: "There have been other murders of women in public spaces, including the Sabina Nessa, and very recently of Sabina Nessa. All of these bring into sharp focus our urgent duty to do more to protect women and girls." An inquiry by the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) recently found "disgraceful" misogyny within the force that was not "simply the behaviour of a few 'bad apples'."Couzens is now behind bars, the rapist and murderer sentenced to life in prison without parole inside HMP Frankland.The jail is in County Durham and has also housed the notorious murderers Harold Shipman and Ian Huntley.In September 2021, Couzens challenged his sentence in an appeal that is likely to take place in May this year and is expected to argue that his actions did not warrant a whole life sentence.His sentence was described as setting new legal ground as he was given a life term for the murder of one person.
