Couzens tricked the marketing executive into getting into his hire car in March 2021, before dragging her from London to woods near her home in Deal, Kent, where he raped and murdered her before dumping her body. Sarah Everard: The Search For Justice published a snapshot of the warrant card he used to persuade the 33-year-old that he was arresting her today. The show also included a video of Couzens being interviewed at Wandsworth police station, with the firearms officer mumbling about his mental stability when bouncing from side to side.

When being interrogated by detectives about his involvement in the marketing executive's disappearance, the king cop is wearing grey custody gear as he bounces from side to side. Couzens' forehead is covered by a bandage from a self-harming attack at London's Wandsworth police station. After being deemed medically fit to be photographed, a chilling custody video shows him hunched over his jumper's sleeves rolled over his hands. After being asked how he is feeling at the moment, the killer cop shifts his head from one side to the other and says, 'I'm in a bad place.'

Concerns remain regarding why it took the Met Police so long to unmask Wayne Couzens, as a former officer shared his surprise at learning he was a colleague minutes before being knocked on his door. As he found out who the principal perpetrator in Sarah Everard's disappearance was when he parked up outside his house in Kent, Nick Harvey (bottom right), a former detective superintendent at Scotland Yard, said, 'the pit of my stomach just fell out.' This morning, he told BBC Woman's Hour that his staff had been asked to look into Couzens so they could locate him. However, as he 'literally turned off his engine' to his car in Deal, Detective Chief Inspector Katherine Goodwin (top right) told Couzens that Couzens was a serving Met cop. The shocking moment in a recent BBC documentary about Sarah's disappearance, which includes interviews with senior police figures and lawyers involved in the investigation, DCI Goodwin, who supervised the probe, reveals the shocking occurrence.
