We assume it's where her family live in Kirovograd Mother-in-law of Sarah Everard murder suspect speaks out after arrest
We think Kirovograd, and we think he may have gone every year except for 2020 but we don't have hard evidence to support thisIt might be small potatoes — but any idea where in Ukraine he visited in 2017? I'm assuming either Odessa or one of the other Black Sea resort towns as they're popular with foreign tourists, but I'm curious to know more specifically.
He bought the woodland area two years before killing Sarah, so I’d guess he bought it for the sole purpose of using it as a burial ground of his victims. Why else would he want to buy an area of woodland that is of no use to him? It’s possible he either took his victims there to rape them and then buried them elsewhere, or maybe did bury another body (or bodies) there or even near to there, so he could return for his kicks and souvenirs, as it were. So any missing women in those two years could be located there, probably burnt like he burned Sarah.
Of course, he may have murdered other women previously, too…
I haven’t read anything in the news to say that they have. My hunch is that they haven’t, but they have very recently, about a month ago, asked women to come forward who may have seen him flashing at them however many years ago. They also said they don’t believe Sarah was the first woman he’s raped, so it’s highly possible he has raped before and maybe even murdered.Has the entire woodland had specialist equipment over it to see if anything else buried?
His life was chaotic and wasn't he gambling and watching a lot of violent *advertiser censored* before the murder?Couzens spent at least a month travelling to London from Deal, Kent, where he lived, to research how best to carry out his crimes.
Several days before the attack, he booked a hire car, which he would use for the abduction, as well as a roll of self-adhesive film advertised as a carpet protector on Amazon.
Relatively speaking, that's a lot of planning. It obviously wasn't the perfect murder by any means (there is no such thing).
The planning, plus the sudden increase in indecent exposures in the lead-up, makes me somewhat doubtful that he killed before. I could be wrong, but that's just my take.
Thank you Cottonweaver, this is very informative.Kent Police was his employer too -
why did KP take ‘no further action’ against Couzens re alleged indecent exposure in 2015? Why was that incident not flagged when he transferred to the Met?
One of the official reviews into Couzens which we're waiting on, is the Angiolini report. (First phase of the Sarah Everard inquiry will begin soon, chaired by Dame Elish Angiolini. Baroness Blackstock has asked the Home Sec that David Carrick be included in that inquiry.
I can't see the Home Sec agreeing to that although she alone has the powers ( under the Inquiries Act) to decide whether the inquiry can include other officers' predatory or criminal behaviour, not just control the scope by limiting it to Couzens. Here's another example of a case which could be included if Home Sec wants to broaden this out Met detective jailed for three years after spying on naked women
Anyway, Phase 1 of Angiolini - what it includes & doesn't is available online)
Specialist reporter Danny Shaw also provides some other links & questions incl the two bodies which had previously raise concerns:
