Touching unseen pictures of tragic Sarah Everard smiling at graduation and at swimming pool released by her family
PHOTOS released by the family for the new documentary into Sarah Everard’s shocking murder show her smiling at her university graduation and at a swimming pool.
Previously unseen pictures of the marketing executive, who was killed aged 33, paint a picture of the young woman whose kidnap and murder shocked the nation.
One shows her at her Durham University graduation in summer 2008.
Sarah studied Geography at St Cuthbert’s Society at the northern university between 2005 and 2008.
Another shows her at Brockwell Lido, close to where she lived in Brixton, south London, enjoying a drink in the sun.
The touching pictures have been released as part of a BBC documentary which comes just a few days after the three year anniversary of Sarah’s murder.
Wayne Couzens, who was a Metropolitan Police officer, is serving a whole life sentence for her kidnap, rape and murder.
The cop who led the Sarah Everard murder probe has spoken of the moment she found out killer Couzens was a Met officer.
Katherine Goodwin says one of her team ran into her office to reveal the suspect was one of their own.
The Detective Chief Inspector said a police computer identified he was suspected of being a flasher — before triggering an alert that he was a gun cop.
Ms Goodwin said: “I can just remember the shock of having to just sit on the floor of the office and say to her, ‘You’re not going to believe this, that he’s a police officer’.”
