Sarah Everard’s killer Wayne Couzens has been charged with four counts of indecent exposure, which allegedly took place between January and February last year, the Crown Prosecution Service said.

Rosemary Ainslie, Head of the CPS Special Crime Division, said: “Following a referral of evidence by the Metropolitan Police, the CPS has authorised four charges of indecent exposure against Wayne Couzens.

“The four alleged offences took place between January and February 2021.”

The incidents are alleged to have taken place in the Swanley area.

Couzens, who is serving a whole life prison order, will appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on April 13.

Couzens was sentenced in September for the murder of Ms Everard in March 2021.

He kidnapped Ms Everard as she walked through the streets of south London, posing as an undercover police officer and carrying out a fake arrest to execute his plan.

Once she was handcuffed in the back of his car, Couzens drove the 33-year-old marketing executive to remote locations in Kent where she was raped and murdered, before burning her body and dumping her remains in a woodland pond.
