A judge has sentenced murderer Wayne Couzens for a series of indecent exposures back in 2021 and said his ability to get away with the crimes could have emboldened him.

The Metropolitan Police’s Deputy Assistant Commissioner, Stuart Cundy, apologised for the failure to apprehend him before he abducted, raped, and murdered Sarah Everard in March 2021.
