Wayne Couzens, the former police officer who killed Sarah Everard, has pleaded not guilty to a string of flashing offences. Couzens, 49, is serving a whole-life sentence for the kidnap, rape and murder of 33-year-old marketing executive Ms Everard in March last year, when he was a serving Metropolitan Police officer.

Four incidents of alleged exposure are said to have taken place earlier that year in Swanley, Kent. On Tuesday, Couzens, from Deal in Kent, appeared at the Old Bailey by video link from Frankland prison in Durham before Judge Mark Lucraft QC.

Wearing a grey sweatshirt, white-bearded Couzens initially spoke to confirm his identity. During the hearing, Couzens, a former armed officer with the Met’s Parliamentary and Diplomatic Protection Command, denied four charges of exposure.
