Metropolitan Police Commissioner Cressida Dick has apologised to Sarah Everard's family, adding in a statement outside the Old Bailey: "Everyone in policing feels betrayed."

She said the force was "sickened, angered and devastated by this man's crimes - they are dreadful".

Wayne Couzens, a serving Metropolitan Police officer, has admitted murdering Sarah Everard.

The 48-year-old married father of two, from Kent, entered the guilty plea during a hearing at the Old Bailey on Friday morning.

He had previously admitted kidnapping and raping Miss Everard, but had been awaiting psychiatric reports before entering a plea in relation to her death.
