LAST UPDATE | 2 Sep 2022
SARAH EVERARD’S KILLER Wayne Couzens has appeared in court to face two allegations of flashing.
The 49-year-old offered no indication of plea to charges relating to the alleged incidents, which are said to have taken place in June 2015 and November 2020.
In the first, he is accused of driving through Dover with the lower half of his body undressed, the court heard.
In the second alleged incident, he is accused of exposing himself to a female cyclist.
Couzens is serving a whole-life sentence for the kidnap, rape and murder of 33-year-old marketing executive Everard in March last year, when he was a serving Metropolitan Police officer.
He appeared at Westminster Magistrates’ Court today by videolink from HMP Frankland in Durham.
He spoke only to confirm his name and date of birth and to say “I have been advised no indication” and “no indication” when charges were put to him.
Couzens, a former armed officer with the Met’s Parliamentary and Diplomatic Protection Command, is next due to appear at the Old Bailey on 3 October, when the court will also address matters relating to four separate counts of indecent exposure which he has denied.
Those charges relate to other alleged incidents in Swanley, Kent, between 22 January and 1 February 2021, 30 January and 6 February, and on 14 February and 27 February.
