Foreign Secretary Liz Truss rejected the claim that the UK’s criminal justice system was “institutionally misogynistic” in the wake of Sarah Everard’s murder.
Everard, a 33-year-old marketing executive, was walking home in the evening on March 3 after having dinner at a friend’s house in Clapham, south London, when she was kidnapped by then-Metropolitan police officer Wayne Couzens, who made a fake COVID-19 arrest and drove Everard to Kent before raping her, strangling her to death with his police belt, burning her body in a fridge, and disposing of her remains.
