Nothing other than a whole life tariff for this utter
It’s so bleak. Not even in my wildest imagination did I really consider the depravity involved in the level of pre-meditation.
I was prepared to accept it was a sex-attack gone wrong. But the level of planning here is truly despicable. I imagine he’s going to be on a whole life tariff for this. I can only imagine his guilty plea is in an attempt to offer some level of contrition to maybe avoid this sentence. But I can’t see how. And this evidence they had was overwhelming. He really had no defence at all once she was found.
Amazing how stupid these killers always are
So could the initial reluctance to plead guilty to murder whilst simultaneously admitting responsibility for her death be him hoping the Eastern European story might work?PC Wayne Couzens, 48, pleads guilty to Sarah Everard's murder | Daily Mail Online
The Vauxhall drove to Tilmanstone in Kent.
'The white Vauxhall Astra is a hire car with Enterprise Car Hire in Dover.
WC collected the white Vauxhall Astra Wednesday 3 March 2021 at 16.45 and returned it at approximately 08.30 on 4 March 2021.
'On 2 March 2021 at 19.00 he started work at his base in Lille Road, West Brompton and worked a 12-hour shift. He then began a period of leave and was not due back at work until Monday 8 March.
'He disclosed that he had financial difficulties and he and his family were being threatened by a gang of Eastern Europeans,'
'He said that 2/3 weeks ago he had underpaid a prostitute (he usually meets them at Hotel Bursten or the Holiday Inn in Folkestone) and a gang with links to this prostitute told him that, as a consequence, he had to deliver them 'another girl'.
'They said that if he didn't, they would harm his family. He also detailed that that the gang had been watching him at his house.
'He said he kidnapped SE and drove her out of London. When he got between Ashford and Maidstone, he was flashed by a Mercedes Van with Romanian number plates.
'He pulled into a layby and three Eastern European men got out of the van and took SE. This was between 23.00 and 23.30 on 3 March 2021 and she was still alive and uninjured when he delivered her to the men. He gave a description of the men and a rough indication of the location of the exchange.
'Police established that WC and his wife purchased a small area of land in 2019.
'The woodland is off Fridd Lane in Ashford. This together with the phone data which will be briefly summarised, led to the area being designated as a crime scene.
'At about 16.45 on 10 March 2021 a body was discovered approximately 100 meters away from the area owned by WC. The body was in a large green builders' bag and deposited in a stream. As referred to, dental records have confirmed that this is the body of SE.'
On 28 February, he purchased a roll of self-adhesive film advertised as a carpet protector.
On 5 March Couzens was seen on CCTV at B&Q in Dover purchasing two green rubble bags
On 6 March the officer ordered a two metre by 2 metre tarpaulin and a bungee cargo net.
Ms Everard's phone has never been found.
Couzens' mobile was seized but it had been wiped of all data at 7.11pm on March 9.
Psychiatric reports are yet to be prepared, and Lord Justice Fulford said: 'This has been a mammoth investigation which has produced some very significant results to establish what happened.
