Priti Patel announces inquiry into Sarah Everard murder
The Home Secretary has announced an inquiry into “systemic failures” that allowed a serving Metropolitan police officer to abuse his position to kidnap, rape and murder Sarah Everard.
“It is abhorrent that a serving police officer was able to abuse his position of power, authority and trust to commit such a horrific crime,” Priti Patel said today.
“The public have a right to know what systematic failures, enabled his continued employment as a police officer.
“I can confirm today that there will be an inquiry to give the independent oversight needed to ensure that something like this can never happen again.”
