Four people who attended a vigil for murdered marketing executive Sarah Everard are being prosecuted in secret court hearings in London for allegedly breaking COVID-19 laws by their attendance.

The vigil followed the discovery of Everard’s body in Kent. Her killer turned out to be a serving police officer, PC Wayne Couzens, and in September last year he admitted kidnap, rape, and murder and was given a whole life sentence.
