Sarah Everard’s body found in builder’s bag, court told
A post-mortem examination has taken place but no cause of death was given in court.

At around 9.35pm, a bus camera captured two figures on Poynders Road and a white Vauxhall Astra with its hazard lights flashing.

Another bus camera captured the same car with both front doors open.

The registration of the vehicle – later confirmed to be a car hired in Dover – was captured and tracked by police as it left London towards Kent.

On Saturday, the court heard Couzens is a trained firearms officer.

He was due back at work on March 8 but on March 5 he reported that he was suffering from stress.

On March 6 he emailed his supervisor to say he did not want to carry a firearm anymore.

9 March 2021
A serving Metropolitan Police officer has been arrested in connection with the disappearance of Sarah Everard.
A woman was arrested at the same address on suspicion of assisting an offender and has also been taken into custody at a London police station.

9 March 2021
This evening, officers arrested a man at an address in Kent in connection with the disappearance of Sarah Everard.

He has been taken into custody at a London police station where he remains.

The man is a serving Metropolitan Police officer.

A woman has also been arrested at the same location on suspicion of assisting an offender. She has also been taken into custody at a London police station.

The Directorate of Professional Standards is aware.

Sarah's family has been kept updated of these developments.

Detective Chief Inspector Katherine Goodwin said: “This is a significant development in our inquiry. This is a fast moving investigation and we are doing everything we can to find Sarah.

"We have seen an overwhelming response from the public and I repeat my request for anyone with information that may be relevant to come forward, no matter how insignificant it may seem."

Assistant Commissioner Nick Ephgrave said: "The arrest this evening is a serious and significant development. We will continue to work with all speed on this investigation but the fact that the arrested man is a serving Metropolitan Police officer is both shocking and deeply disturbing.

"I understand there will be significant public concern but it is essential that the investigative team are given the time and space to continue their work."

We will not be issuing any further statement tonight.


Serving Met officer arrested over Sarah Everard's disappearance
9 March 2021

"The officer was detained at an address in Kent on Tuesday and a woman was also arrested at the same location on suspicion of assisting an offender. They have each been taken into custody at a London police station.

Everard’s family is being kept updated with developments, the force said, adding that the directorate of professional standards – the body responsible for investigating complaints against the professional conduct of officers – was aware of the case."
 
Public Justice Offences incorporating the Charging Standard | The Crown Prosecution Service
Assisting an Offender - section 4(1) Criminal Law Act 1967

The offence of assisting an offender ("the principal offender") is committed when:

  • the principal offender has committed an arrestable offence;
  • the accused knows or believes that the principal offender has committed that or some other arrestable offence;
  • the accused does any act with intent to impede the apprehension or prosecution of the principal offender; and
  • the act is done without lawful authority or reasonable excuse.
It is an offence triable only on indictment unless the principal offence is an either way offence, in which case the offence of assisting a principal offender is also triable either way. The maximum sentence for the offence varies from three to ten years' imprisonment, depending on the punishment applicable to the principal offence: s.4(3).

Proceedings may only be instituted by or with the consent of the Director of Public Prosecutions: s.4(4). Consent may be granted after charge but must be before committal proceedings (indictable offences) or mode of trial (either way offences). Consent must be obtained before proceedings are started by way of summons. It is not an offence to attempt to commit an offence under section 4.

Examples of the type of conduct appropriate for a charge of assisting an offender include:

  • hiding a principal offender;
  • otherwise assisting a principal offender to avoid arrest;
  • assisting a principal offender to abscond from bail;
  • lying to the police to protect principal offenders from investigation and prosecution;
  • hiding the weapon used in an assault/robbery;
  • washing clothes worn by a principal offender to obstruct any potential forensic examination.
There may be an overlap between the offence of assisting an offender and obstructing a constable, wasting police time, concealing arrestable offences (s.5(1) Criminal Law Act 1967) and perverting the course of justice .

The courts have made it clear that assisting an offender is a serious offence and, if the statutory offence of assisting an offender can be charged, it should normally be preferred over common law offences.

However, the common law offence of perverting the course of justice should be considered when:

  • the assisting is aimed at preventing or hindering the trial process (as opposed to the arrest or apprehension of an accused);
  • the facts are so serious that the court's sentencing powers for the statutory offence are considered inadequate;
  • admissible evidence of the principle offence is lacking.
Assisting an offender is sometimes not an easy offence to prove since it requires proof that the principle committed an arrestable offence and that the accused knew or believed this. In the absence of such proof, other public justice offences, such as obstruction or perverting the course of justice, can provide alternative charges.

Police looking for missing Sarah Everard were today combing through woodland and the £200,000 house in Deal, Kent belonging to the serving Metropolitan Police officer and woman they arrested.

Forensic investigators were carefully searching the area as a tent set up to preserve evidence was put up outside the property.

The arrested pair's £20,000 black Seat Exeo estate car was also collected by a low loader truck and taken away as part of the fast developing missing person's probe.
