FOUR murder fiends given whole-life jail terms were handed more than £600,000 in legal aid.
The monsters, including killer cop Wayne Couzens, clocked up the huge total as they sought softer punishments.
Figures obtained by The Sun on Sunday show cesspit killer Ian Stewart, 61 ran up the highest taxpayer-funded bill of £271,014.
[...]
Met cop Couzens, who raped and strangled Sarah Everard, got £33,694 — set to rise as he failed to have his whole-life tariff reduced.
The agency said the aid “ensured justice was served”.

Wayne Couzens appears in court on flashing charges
The former Met Police officer is accused of indecent exposures pre-dating Sarah Everard's murder.
www.bbc.co.uk
He is accused of exposing himself to a female cyclist in November 2020.
He also allegedly drove with the lower half of his body undressed in Dover, Kent, in June 2015.
The case was adjourned until 1 November when legal argument is set to take place.
The former armed officer with the Met's Parliamentary and Diplomatic Protection Command, has already pleaded not guilty to four separate counts of indecent exposure.
Those charges are over other alleged incidents at a fast food restaurant in Kent in 2021 - on 30 January and 6 February, and on 14 February and 27 February

She also denies breaching the force's standards.

The findings of an independent report into killer police officer Wayne Couzens is set to criticise Kent Constabulary and the Metropolitan Police for missing warning signs before the rape and murder of Sarah Everard.
The former Scotland Yard officer indecently exposed himself three times before the murder, including twice at a drive-through fast food restaurant in Kent, but was not caught despite driving his own car at the time.
He went on to kidnap, rape and murder marketing executive Sarah Everard in March 2021.
A report on the first part of a Home Office-commissioned inquiry into his policing career by Dame Elish Angiolini is to be published on Thursday morning.

Sarah Everard's killer 'should never have been an officer': Report demands overhaul of police vetting
Red flags were "repeatedly ignored" by police vetting, according to the inquiry. It also said it has seen evidence Couzens allegedly committed a "very serious sexual assault against a child" before his policing career even began.
news.sky.com
The report has been released and it is damning.
He failed vetting on several occasions!

"Without a significant overhaul, there is nothing to stop another Couzens operating in plain sight," Dame Elish said.
"Now is the time for change," she added, urging "all those in authority in every police force in the country to read this report and take immediate action".
In a statement Ms Everard's parents and siblings Sue, Jeremy, Katie and James, said warning signs were "overlooked" throughout Couzens' career.
"It is obvious that Wayne Couzens should never have been a police officer," they said. "While holding a position of trust, in reality he was a serial sex offender.
"We believe that Sarah died because he was a police officer. She would never have got into a stranger's car."

The Most Shocking Findings
- Couzen had a taste for extreme *advertiser censored* with alleged offences dating back 20 years.
- He was accused of sexually assaulting a child in his early 20s.
- He was accused of sharing unsolicited photographs of his penis and possessing indecent images of children.
- Couzens attempted to carry out a kidnapping at knifepoint in London in 1995.
- He was reported to police eight times for exposing himself prior to Sarah Everard's murder.
- No-one questioned him over a 2015 report of indecent exposure.
- Three police investigations of reports of indecent exposure prior to Ms Everard's murder were 'inadequate'.
- 'Sarah only died because he was a police officer,’ her family say.
- The force's failure to investigate allegations of indecent exposure allowed Couzens’ to continue offending.
- 'Wayne Couzens should never have been a police officer,' Lady Angiolini's report explains.
Killer cop Wayne Couzens reported to police eight times prior to the killing of Sarah Everard

''LONDON (AP) — An off-duty police officer who abducted and murdered a 33-year-old woman in south London three years ago should never have been employed in the first place, with three police forces failing to spot clear signals of his unsuitability, an official inquiry revealed Thursday.
According to the damning report, Wayne Couzens had a history of viewing extreme and violent *advertiser censored* and alleged sexual offending dating back nearly 20 years before the murder of Sarah Everard. Couzens, 51, often shared his interests with other officers on a WhatsApp group.
The inquiry's chair, Elish Angiolini warned that without a radical overhaul of policing practices and culture, there is “nothing to stop another Couzens operating in plain sight."
