(UK) Police Officer arrested on suspicion of kidnapping, murder, indecent exposure.

[It’s Time To Go]

A serving Metropolitan Police officer who works in the Diplomatic Protection Command in Westminster has been arrested on suspicion of murdering missing marketing executive Sarah Everard.

Wayne Couzens, 49, a father of two from Deal in Kent, was initially arrested on suspicion of kidnapping the 33-year-old who disappeared in south London a week ago.

But on Wednesday, Scotland Yard said the man in custody had further been arrested on suspicion of murder. They confirmed that the officer had not been on duty when Miss Everard disappeared.

He has also been arrested on suspicion of a separate allegation of indecent exposure.

Mr Couzens, a former mechanic, worked for his family's garage business before joining the police around a decade ago.

He has an older brother who is also a serving police officer.

Neighbours in the quiet road in Deal where he lives with his wife and son and daughter described seeing him being led from his home in handcuffs on Tuesday evening by Met Police officers.

Miss Everard, 33, disappeared last Wednesday as she walked home from a friend's house in south London.

The last image of her was captured on CCTV on Poynders Road at around 9.30pm and police have spent recent days scouring the local area for clues as to her disappearance.

A Scotland Yard spokesman said Sarah's family had been made aware of the latest developments.
