Read our privacy policy Sarah Everard “spent her last hours on Earth with the very worst of humanity” her mother has said, on the eve of killer Wayne Couzens’s sentencing. Reading a statement at the Old Bailey in London, Susan Everard said she was “tormented” by the thought of what her daughter had endured. The mother said she was “repulsed” by the thought of what the former Metropolitan Police officer had done to her daughter, adding: “I am outraged that he masqueraded as a policeman in order to get what he wanted.” “In the evenings, at the time she was abducted, I let out a silent scream: ‘Don’t get in the car, Sarah. No punishment that you receive will ever compare to the pain and torture that you have inflicted on us.” Court artist sketch of Susan Everard reading a victim impact statement as former Metropolitan Police officer Wayne Couzens sits in the dock at the Old Bailey Ms Everard’s sister, Katie Everard, described Couzens as a “monster”.
