  1. ***The Telegraph reports:***

    The mother of Sarah Everard has described how she is still tormented by the horrors of her daughter’s final hours.

    In an emotional statement to coincide with the publication of a major report examining violence against women and girls, Sue Everard said she is still full of rage and torment over Sarah’s murder.

    Her daughter was abducted, raped and murdered by Wayne Couzens, a serving Metropolitan Police officer, in March 2021.

  2. Surprised there weren’t any riots about this one

  3. I feel for her boyfriend as well. What was she doing breaking lockdown rules with a male ‘friend’?

  4. I don’t think I’ve ever been so affected by a public crime story as this one. I aren’t religious, but I prayed for her family at that time. The pain must be beyond brutal. That poor girl, her poor family. This case made me want the death sentence brought back.

  6. I remember hearing her moms impact statement to the court on a podcast. It reduced me to tears, the imagining of her daughter’s terror and fear thinking she was being taken to a police station, and the realisation that she wasn’t. It’s every parent’s worse nightmare, I don’t know how you get over that.

  7. Imagine the moment she realised something wasn’t right. She must have been terrified. But by that point there was nothing she could do because that POS used his police handcuffs to ‘arrest’ her. Just awful.

  8. I lost a baby shortly after birth, peacefully and without pain, and it nearly ruined both myself and my wife, I can’t imagine knowing how Sarah’s parents feel losing a child and knowing her last moments were horrific

  9. Disgusting crime and one of the worst to affect me in years.

    We are taught from a young age to trust police officers and obey authority. Since this i have told my partner that if a police officer tries to detain you, you refuse Fuck them.

    The monster should swing slowly, painfully and publicly.

  10. Poor mother. I’m pretty sure most people who are empathetic feel that the Sarah Everard murder is one of the most horrific crimes to come out of this country.

    I still think about it from time to time and I didn’t even know Sarah.

    Glad he received a full life term.

  11. They still horrify me too and I didn’t even know her

  12. This case is why I now wish we had a death penalty in the UK. The death penalty was suspended in the 50s/60s because we lacked the objective proof to condemn people to death. We now have DNA and a multitude of modern forensic techniques that mitigate that risk.

    A) it is JUST that Wayne Couzens is executed for his horrendous crime

    B) there is no risk that he did not commit this crime

    C) the British public should not be paying £100k+ per year to keep this man in protected custody

    Bring back justice for Sarah Everard.

  13. There’s some real deep hatred and disregard for women and girls that it really terrifies me sometimes living in this place. This story has stuck with me even when I tried to shake it.
    The only other story that affected me much the same way was the guy that took the journalist on his submarine and did much the same thing. The fact that these men harbor these thoughts and move between “perfect” husbands, dads, boyfriends, friends etc further adds to the terror. It’s like its all just a performance. I have a friend who’s boyfriend casually just admitted to her that he likes to get women hooked and into him and just drop them. Even that makes me feel sick.

    Is this how a lot of people have always been? Or are we seeing the results of people veering too far into pockets of Internet lurking? I really don’t know anymore.

  14. I don’t know how she carries on everyday honestly. If someone had done that to my daughter that would just be it for me. She is truly one of the strongest out there.

  15. I can’t even imagine losing a child this way. My mother has said she’d kill herself if I even died of natural causes. I can’t even contemplate if I or any of her other daughters died like this.
