Sarah Everard’s killer Wayne Couzens will be charged with two more exposure offences which allegedly took place in the years and months before the murder.

The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said it authorised the new charges against the ex-Metropolitan Police officer following a referral of evidence from his former London employer.

He is serving a whole-life sentence for the kidnap, rape and murder of the 33-year-old marketing executive in March 2021, when he was an officer in the Met.

The two alleged flashing offences took place in the Dover area of Kent in June 2015 and in the Deal area of the county in November 2020, Scotland Yard said.

Couzens, 49, is due to appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on 2 September.

“The function of the CPS is not to decide whether a person is guilty of a criminal offence, but to make fair, independent and objective assessments about whether it is appropriate to present charges to a court to consider,” said head of the CPS Special Crime Division, Rosemary Ainslie.

Couzens has already appeared in court charged with four other incidents of alleged exposure said to have taken place in Swanley, Kent, before Ms Everard‘s death.

His job was to guard diplomatic premises when he abducted her on a south London street as she walked home from visiting a friend, using his police warrant card to force her into his car.

Her body was later found in woodland about 50 miles away in Ashford, Kent.
