Search for Sarah Everard's mobile continues: Police divers resume 48-hour underwater hunt | Daily Mail Online

17 March 2021

Police divers, who have already spent 48 hours looking in a Kent stream for evidence including Sarah Everard's phone, have renewed their underwater hunt today as the search of the 300-metre stretch continued for a third day.

Officers in Sandwich Kent have focused on a 50-metre portion of Sandwich's Delf Stream near to the town's Ropewalk area.

Forensic officers have been concentrating on a specific area in the tourist spot for three days, meticulously rooting through bins, lifting stones and drains for the investigation.

Then yesterday they delved into the network of drains systems snaking underneath the 4,500-population Medieval town.

But the stream has been of constant interest, with neighbouring Devon and Cornwall Police even providing divers to bolster numbers at one point.

Officers in the Sarah Everard murder investigation are searching an abandoned builders' yard and former St John's Ambulance base.

Met teams carrying tools, including what looked like shovels, were seen arriving in a van and disappearing down an alleyway beside a B&B in the centre of Dover at around 3.30pm

The property on Folkestone Road is beside a piece of vacant and overgrown land earmarked for development.

The B&B's garden borders North Military Road where officers have now sealed off land next to the former St John's Ambulance site which is near to the former BCB Garage where suspect Wayne Couzens worked for 20 years.

Why we can’t report much on the Wayne Couzens court case
KentLive

18 March 2021

[…]
many will be wondering why so little in the way of information has been published to date.

[…]
The reason for this is that a number of reporting restrictions are in place from the moment an individual is arrested.

[…]
When an arrest is made, a case becomes “active” under the Contempt of Court Act 1981.

[…]
This, essentially, is in place to prevent the publication of anything that could prejudice jurors at a potential trial. That includes any material that gives the impression an individual is likely to have committed an offence.

When the case becomes active, only non-prejudicial information about an alleged incident can be published. Non-prejudicial background information may also be published.

[…]
When a jury is selected and a trial begins, the media can publish full reports of what they are told. That is because the jury cannot be prejudiced by publication of information of which they have already been informed in court.

Media have absolute privilege in reporting of court cases where the report is "fair and accurate", provides a summary of cases from both the prosecution and defence, contains no inaccuracies and does not give disproportionate weight to one side or the other.

Investigators probing the murder and kidnap of Sarah Everard expect to know soon how she died - after a second post mortem left a coroner able to release her body for her funeral.

Senior coroner Patricia Harding commissioned a second examination yesterday after the first proved inconclusive.

But while the results of the most recent post mortem tests have not come back yet, today she said Miss Everard's body could now be returned to her grieving family to be laid to rest.

She is understood to have felt able to make that decision because she expects the results of the examination to show the cause of death."
