The murder of Sarah Everard has led to a spike in demand for training on how to help if you see someone being harassed on the street, course providers in Britain said, as her killer was sentenced to spend the rest of his life in prison.
Earlier this year, Wayne Couzens, 48, then a serving London Metropolitan Police Service firearms officer, used his official identification and handcuffs to falsely arrest Everard for breaking COVID-19 rules, which allowed him to kidnap and brutally murder her, prosecutors said over a two-day hearing through Thursday at the Old Bailey in London.
Everard's abduction from a residential street in London sparked outrage and demands for action to ensure the safety of women on the streets of the capital.
