But the former Metropolitan Police officer’s wife of 15 years, Elena Couzens, has said she is “as puzzled as everyone else” as to what led her husband to kill a complete stranger. “If I had any idea what was going on in Wayne’s head, then none of this would’ve happened but I didn’t know anything”, Ms Couzens, 38, told MailOnline. I’m constantly asking myself ‘where I did miss the signs?’ How on earth could this have happened?” Detectives say Couzens has still refused to reveal why he murdered Ms Everard. Officers had arrested Couzens after linking a white Vauxhall Astra hire car captured on several CCTV cameras to Ms Everard’s abduction and discovering it was rented in his name.
