Rebuilding police trust will ‘take years’, says Khan on third anniversary of Sarah Everard's murder

LONDON mayor Sadiq Khan said it would “take years” to repair confidence in the police on the third anniversary of Sarah Everard’s murder yesterday.

The 33-year-old marketing executive was raped and killed by off-duty Met Police officer Wayne Couzens after he said he could arrest her for breaking lockdown rules as she walked home in south London.

Her grieving family said she died because Couzens was a police officer and she “would never have got into a stranger’s car” after an inquiry chaired by Lady Elish Angiolini said that the 51-year-old should never have been given a job as a police officer and chances to stop the sexual predator were repeatedly ignored and missed.
