Wayne Couzens, the killer of Sarah Everard, has admitted to charges of indecent exposure a year before her murder. The former Metropolitan Police officer pleaded guilty at the Old Bailey on Monday to three counts of indecently exposing himself in Kent between November 2020 and February 2021. 

Couzens is currently serving a life sentence for the kidnap, rape and murder of Ms Everard, 33, in 2021.

He appeared via video link at the hearing at which he also denied a further count relating to an alleged incident in June 2015. The plea was accepted, but he will not face trial over the charge because it was left on file.

The three offences the 49-year-old pleaded guilty to took place in woodland and at a McDonald’s restaurant.

He appeared via video link from Frankland jail where he is serving a whole-life sentence for the murder of Ms Everard.

Couzens had a long grey beard and wore a grey tracksuit at the hearing.

He is due to be sentenced on March 6.

Couzens had stopped marketing executive Ms Everard as she was walking home from a friend’s house in Clapham, south London, on the evening of March 3.

He used his Met Police warrant card to abduct Ms Everard, pretending she had broken Covid lockdown rules.

Her body was found in woodland in Kent.
