Devoted father, husband and police officer who hid dark desire to rape and kill: How porn-obsessed PC Wayne Couzens who visited prostitutes and flashed female McDonald's staff plotted to snatch Sarah Everard then torch her body near his family grave
- To people he met during his job PC Wayne Couzens appeared to be the model professional and family man
- But in the dark recesses of the internet he was indulging in deprave fantasies that would spill into real life
- The reality of who he was has been uncovered today after he pleaded guilty to murdering Sarah Everard
Even after he was arrested over the disappearance of Sarah Everard, Wayne Couzens' high standing among people who knew him saw his mother-in-law insist he was 'a wonderful family man'.
But the smiling face of the father-of-two who doted on his children masked a depraved sexual deviant addicted to pornography and twisted fantasies.
His utter disregard for his victim saw him try and burn her dead body before leaving it in a bag near land he had used as a family grave site to scatter ashes.
But by day Couzens was guarding some of the most important VIPs and maintaining an inscrutable veneer as Met Police Diplomatic Protection Officer. And before that he guarded the Dungeness Nuclear Power station in another job of great trust and responsibility.
However, at the same time, in June 2015, there was the first of a series of escalating incidents and clues that would horrifically culminate in the murder of Sarah.
Kent Police - with whom he volunteered from 2005 to 2009 - received a complaint a man had been spotted driving around Dover naked from the waist down.
No arrests were made and the fact it was suspected to be Couzens was kept secret until today when the Independent Office for Police Conduct revealed the crime.
The IOPC revealed the allegation as it confirmed Couzens was suspected of two other indecent exposures feared not to have been properly probed by the Met force days before he killed Sarah.
Despite the past cases, Couzens was still a member of the elite Parliamentary and Diplomatic Protection squad at the time of Sarah's killing – a role that entitled him to carry a firearm and a Metropolitan Police warrant card.

Depraved killer: The chilling police mugshot after he was detained for the murder and rape of his victim Sarah Everard
Formed in 2015, the unit is responsible for the protection of government owned buildings and embassies as well as ministers and visiting heads of state.
As part of his armed duties protecting MPs and dignitaries, Couzens has provided static security for major public events attended by senior members of the Royal Family.
All police recruits undergo careful vetting to check whether they have a criminal record when they join the force. To be accepted into the elite Westminster armed unit, officers must face rigorous tests and firearms training.
Scotland Yard has referred itself to the police watchdog over the arrest of its own officer and separately over the force's actions after Sarah was reported missing.
It was the latest revelation on Couzens, who admitted regularly meeting with prostitutes and was also suspected of taking dangerous body-building steroids.
The wife of Couzens told of her horror at the police officer's sickening crimes and her distress at failing to spot any warning signs in the months before Sarah's kidnap and murder.
Speaking exclusively to MailOnline, Elena Couzens, 38, said: 'I keep on asking 'why?' What Wayne did wasn't human behaviour.'
As Couzens today pleaded guilty to snatching Ms Everard, 33, off the street and then raping her, his wife of 15 years says she is still picking up the pieces of her shattered life and rebuilding it together with the couple's two young children.
'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,' she said.
'He didn't appear to be acting strangely. I didn't notice anything was wrong. I'm working full time, most of the time I'm dropping the children off at school and picking them up, I have a really busy lifestyle.
'I can't comprehend it because he never once previously showed any glimpse of violence, he was never that way. I'm just as puzzled as everyone else.
Depraved killer:
'I saw nothing wrong. He had a beautiful family, a good house… what else did he need? I'm constantly asking myself 'where I did miss the signs?' How on earth could this have happened?'
Born in Dover, Kent, in 1972, Couzens was the eldest of two boys, whose father ran a body shop and garage.
The brothers joined their father's business after leaving school, with a former receptionist at the garage describing Couzens as kind, thoughtful and charming
She told the Telegraph: 'There was no sign he could be like that. Wayne was lovely to work with. He was a really nice chap. He was thoughtful and friendly and got on with his work.
'I was the only lady who worked there because it was a garage, but he was always polite and respectful towards me. When he was arrested for the poor girl's murder I was completely shocked.
Her husband agreed and said Couzens actions in killing Sarah were a 'mystery'.
After his time in his father's garage, he became a police officer, though he first served as a volunteer Special Sergeant between 2005 and 2009.
He was an army reservist for two years before, in 2011, finally being accepted by the Civil Nuclear Constabulary an armed police force tasked with guarding the country's atomic power network.
Couzens went through firearms training before being posted to the Sellafield reprocessing site in Cumbria, where he spent eight months.
He then transferred to the Dungeness Nuclear Power station close to home in Kent and, after seven years of service without any issues, he transferred to the Met.
But after seven years of unblemished service with the force he applied for a transfer to the Metropolitan Police.
In 2020, after joining the Met, colleagues said he became obsessed with bodybuilding and the gym, leading to fears he was abusing steroids.
One ex-officer said: 'There are some pictures of Couzens where his arms are huge so it would not surprise me at all.'
Couzens met Elena, his Ukrainian wife in 2006 on the internet, before they met in person and got engaged.
Nina Sukhoreba, his mother-in-law, said after his arrest: 'He is a wonderful family man, a wonderful man. He is a wonderful father. He came to visit with the children and we all walked to the river and he helped me at home and in the garden.'
Brother-in-law, Vitaly Obuhov, said 'he is an extremely warm person, very polite and calm'.
Yet just 39 minutes before his arrest, he wiped all data from his mobile phone and was also spotted by neighbours throwing an SD memory card out of the upstairs window.
This led to more speculation about his obsession with porn.
Reacting to his arrest, his wife Elena said: 'When the police arrived at the house, I was in shock. At first I thought it was a prank. I thought these are his friends playing a joke.
'Even an hour into the police search, I remember thinking this is a bit much for a prank but that's when I started asking questions.
'The children were here but luckily the police were very professional and the kids didn't have a clue about what was going on. They were just taken away.'
Elena, a forensic scientist, moved out of the family home with her daughter, 11, and nine-year-old son in March when it became the centre of the murder investigation.
They have now moved back in and she said that she has briefed the children on what has happened to their father as best she can.
She said: 'The children know about what happened now but they heard it from me. I wanted them to hear it from me and I think I did a good job, they've accepted what's happened as best as anyone could.
'We are a safe triangle, I protect them, trust them. We have fun together. Their life goes on, as far as I'm concerned. They go to school and the school has been very supportive, everyone has been very supportive, especially the other school mums.'
Ukrainian-born Elena has also gone back to work as a laboratory manager.
She has contacted the devastated family of Ms Everard through intermediaries at the Metropolitan Police and added: 'I had a conversation with the officers asking them to pass on my condolences. I am sorry that this happened, what happened to Sarah should not happen to any woman but her family are grieving.
'The feelings I'm going through, they are going through much worse. It is horrendous.
'As a parent, I have my own two children. I do not want anything like that to happen to them. I cannot imagine the heartache that Sarah's parents are going through.
'If I had the power to bring anyone back from the dead, Sarah would be the first person that I would choose. I wish I could rewind the last three months and stop this from happening.'

The wife of Wayne Couzens has told of her horror at the police officer's sickening crimes and her distress at failing to spot any warning signs in the months before Sarah Everard's kidnap and murder.
Speaking exclusively to MailOnline, Elena Couzens, 38, said: 'I keep on asking "why?" What Wayne did wasn’t human behaviour.’
As Couzens today pleaded guilty to snatching Ms Everard, 33, off the street and then raping her, his wife of 15 years says she is still picking up the pieces of her shattered life and rebuilding it together with the couple's two young children.
'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,' she said.
‘He didn't appear to be acting strangely. I didn't notice anything was wrong. I’m working full time, most of the time I‘m dropping the children off at school and picking them up, I have a really busy lifestyle.

In an exclusive interview, Elena recalls the moment armed police raided their modest two-bedroom semi-detached home in Deal, Kent, and arrested her husband of 15 years, assuming it was his colleagues playing a prank. It wasn't until police were still rifling through their things an hour later that she realised it was serious.
Opening up for the first time, the mother-of-two reveals how she had to break the news to the couple's children - a daughter, 11, and son, nine - that their father had been arrested after they were moved into a temporary house. She also reached out the family of Ms Everard and said she cannot imagine what her parents are going through.

Ms Everard had spent the evening at a friend’s house on March 3 when she started to walk from Clapham to her home in Brixton
Still seeking answers herself, Elena says: ‘The only thing I can think of is manic depression. I know he suffered from depression, but it was always such a subtle thing, you couldn’t always tell what it was.
‘He’d be up and down. Sometimes he’d feel really happy and energised and he’d start doing things around the house. But I cannot explain why he did this.'
Elena spoke before Couzens appeared at the Old Bailey this morning where he admitted Ms Everard’s murder. He will be sentenced on September 29.
Ms Everard had spent the evening at a friend’s house on March 3 when she started to walk from Clapham to her home in Brixton.
She had phoned her boyfriend, Josh Lowth, for 15-minutes shortly before being snatched off the street, killed and her body dumped in woodland near Ashford in Kent.
Couzens, who worked for the Met’s Parliamentary and Diplomatic Protection unit, guarding embassies in the capital, was arrested at his home in nearby Deal, Kent, on March 9.
Elena said: ‘When the police arrived at the house, I was in shock. At first I thought it was a prank. I thought these are his friends playing a joke.
‘Even an hour into the police search, I remember thinking this is a bit much for a prank but that’s when I started asking questions.

How was he still on the force? Killer cop Wayne Couzens was caught flashing six years ago and four days BEFORE he snatched Sarah Everard - as 12 cops face 'gross misconduct' probe over her murder
By Dan Sales for MailOnline
Sarah Everard's murderer and rapist PC Wayne Couzens, 48, is being investigated over more unsolved sex crimes as it emerged today he could have been caught six years ago when police failed to probe a flashing complaint against him - with 12 officers now under standards watchdog scrutiny.
The Independent Office for Police Conduct revealed the allegation as it confirmed Couzens was suspected of two other indecent exposures feared not to have been properly probed by the Met force days before he killed Sarah.
As Dame Cressida Dick apologised after the murderer's guilty plea at court this morning, her force refused to comment on what other crimes he may now been linked to.
But the IOPC laid bare a series of worrying incidents and said it had served 12 officers from several forces with gross misconduct or misconduct notices with multiple investigations ongoing.
One gross misconduct notice and six misconduct notices relate to a probe into allegations officers from 'a number of forces' breached standards of professional behaviour by sharing information linked to the prosecution of Couzens via a messaging app.
Gross misconduct notices have been served to three officers over an investigation into a probationary Met Police constable who allegedly shared an inappropriate graphic relating to the Sarah Everard case with officers over social media before subsequently manning the cordon at the scene of the search for her.
A probe into the Metropolitan Police's alleged failure to investigate allegations of indecent exposure linked to Couzens in February 2021 continues with two officers being investigated for possible breaches of professional standards that may amount to misconduct.
A separate investigation is also ongoing into claims Kent Police failed to investigate an incident of indecent exposure in 2015, but no notices have been served by the IOPC to officers over this.
An investigation into how Wayne Couzens sustained head injuries while in custody on both March 10 and March 12 following his arrest has almost concluded, the IOPC said, with all officers involved treated as witnesses.
Kent Assistant Chief Constable Tom Richards said: 'Kent Police made a referral to the Independent Office for Police Conduct in relation to its investigation into an alleged indecent exposure in Dover in June 2015. 'It would be inappropriate to comment further whilst the IOPC continues to carry out its independent investigation.'
The serving Metropolitan Police officer, appearing via video link from HMP Belmarsh, told the hushed Old Bailey today he murdered Sarah after the abduction and sex attack.
Couzens, who may now face a rare whole life prison sentence, came up with an implausible lie an Eastern European gang had forced him to kidnap her after underpaying a prostitute.
As the Met pursued its investigation the absurd story was dropped as he realised he could not escape justice.
But despite his new confession, Couzens - a diplomatic protection officer - has still refused to explain why he carried out his crimes, offering brazen 'no comment' replies in every police interview. He had even tried to kill himself in custody by running into a wall at the station.
He had meticulously planned the kidnap and hired a car three days earlier and bought a roll of self-adhesive film advertised as a carpet protector on Amazon.
The circumstances of what happened after he took Sarah will not be detailed until a hearing in September, but the court was told investigations have found she was transferred to Couzens' own car in Kent, which is where he may have carried out the rape.
Carolyn Oakley, CPS Specialist Prosecutor in the Special Crime Division, said: 'Wayne Couzens lied to the police when he was arrested and to date, he has refused to comment. We still do not know what drove him to commit this appalling crime against a stranger.'
Questions will also be asked over whether the Met could have stopped him after an indecent exposure was reported to it four days before he struck. CCTV footage showed it was Couzens but it was not realised until after he had killed Sarah. The sequence of events are currently under investigation by the Independent Office of Police Conduct.
Sarah was taken as she was walking home through Clapham Common from a friend's house towards Brixton on March 3.
She had been reported missing by her boyfriend, who she called for around 14 minutes on an approximately 2.5 mile journey home which began at around 9pm.
Hunched over in a grey prison tracksuit, bald and bearded Couzens' quietly answered 'guilty maam' when the charge was put to him by the court clerk.
Tom Little, QC, prosecuting, confirmed today the cop did not 'and had never met Sarah' before he abducted her.
Ms Everard's parents, Jeremy, a professor of electronics at the University of York, and her mother, Susan, were among members of Sarah's family in court to hear Couzens admit murder today.
The marketing assistant, who grew up in York and lived in London, was seen on a doorbell camera at around 9pm walking along Poynders Road towards Tulse Hill.
CCTV caught her alone at quarter past nine and again at 9.28pm, before she was seen on the camera of a marked police car at 9.32pm.
Then at around 9.35pm, a bus camera captured two figures on the road and a white Vauxhall Astra with its hazard lights flashing.
Footage from another bus caught the same car with both front doors open.

The vehicle was later confirmed to have been hired from Dover after police caught its registration number and traced it as it left London for Kent.
Today the court heard investigators are still analysing scientific evidence relating to Wayne Couzens' own car, into which he transferred Ms Everard from the hire car he used to kidnap her.
They believe it could establish where it was she was raped and murdered by the killer.
Her disappearance saw a major Metropolitan Police investigation launched before her burnt body was found a week later in woodland in Kent.
When the killer first appeared at Westminster Magistrates' Court on March 13, prosecutor Zoe Martin detailed how the investigation began the day after Ms Everard was last seen.
'Sarah Everard saw a friend in the Clapham Junction area, on March 3 and bought a bottle of wine.
'She left that address at about 9pm to come home. Her address was about two and half miles away and a 9.15pm she called her boyfriend for about 15 minutes.
'That call finished at 9.28pm and there has been no further activity on her phone since then.

'She was reported missing at 8.10pm on March 4 after she failed to meet her boyfriend as arranged.
'Investigating officers became involved on Friday March 5. Sarah Everard was captured on CCTV at 9.15pm.
'The next siting was at 9.28pm and again she was alone.
'At 9.38pm a bus camera captures two figures standing by a White Vauxhall Astra. One of the figures had lighter clothing and the other darker clothing.
'Another bus camera also capture the same vehicle. The registration of the vehicle was captured and the police tracked the vehicle using CCTV.'
The Vauxhall drove to Tilmanstone in Kent.
'The white Vauxhall Astra is a hire car with Enterprise Car Hire in Dover. On 28 February 2021 Wayne Couzens (WC) booked a hire car using his name, address and two different mobile numbers.
'He paid a deposit using his bank card. WC collected the white Vauxhall Astra seen in the CCTV on Wednesday 3 March 2021 at 16.45 and returned it at approximately 08.30 on 4 March 2021.
'On investigating the telephone numbers given to Enterprise it is discovered that WC is a serving police officer; it is the same mobile number on his personal records at the MPS.
'He is currently employed within the Parliamentary and Diplomatic Protection Group and is a trained firearms officer.
'On 2 March 2021 at 19.00 he started work at his base in Lille Road, West Brompton and worked a 12-hour shift. He then began a period of leave and was not due back at work until Monday 8 March.
'On 5 March he reported to work that he was suffering with stress. On 6 March he emailed his supervisor to say that he no longer wanted to carry a firearm. On 8 March he reported in sick.'
Couzens was arrested at his home in Deal on 9 March and interviewed but told investigators a pack of absurd lies.
He initially said he 'did not know Sarah Everard '.
'He then disclosed that he had financial difficulties and he and his family were being threatened by a gang of Eastern Europeans,' said the prosecutor.
'He said that 2/3 weeks ago he had underpaid a prostitute (he usually meets them at Hotel Bursten or the Holiday Inn in Folkestone) and a gang with links to this prostitute told him that, as a consequence, he had to deliver them 'another girl'.
'They said that if he didn't, they would harm his family. He also detailed that that the gang had been watching him at his house.
'He said he kidnapped SE and drove her out of London. When he got between Ashford and Maidstone, he was flashed by a Mercedes Van with Romanian number plates.
'He pulled into a layby and three Eastern European men got out of the van and took SE.
'This was between 23.00 and 23.30 on 3 March 2021 and she was still alive and uninjured when he delivered her to the men.
'He gave a description of the men and a rough indication of the location of the exchange.
'Police established that WC and his wife purchased a small area of land in 2019.
'The woodland is off Fridd Lane in Ashford. This together with the phone data which will be briefly summarised, led to the area being designated as a crime scene.
'At about 16.45 on 10 March 2021 a body was discovered approximately 100 meters away from the area owned by WC. The body was in a large green builders' bag and deposited in a stream. As referred to, dental records have confirmed that this is the body of SE.'
Couzens had made several recent purchases on Amazon.
On 28 February, the day he booked the hire car, he purchased a roll of self-adhesive film advertised as a carpet protector.
On 5 March Couzens was seen on CCTV at B&Q in Dover purchasing two green rubble bags for £9.94. The transcation is confirmed from his banking records.
On 6 March the officer ordered a two metre by 2 metre tarpaulin and a bungee cargo net. The items were shipped to him the next day.
Ms Everard's phone has never been found.
Couzens' mobile was seized but it had been wiped of all data at 7.11pm on March 9.
Earlier in the case's long history Couzens' lawyer Jim Sturman QC said: 'Responsibility for the killing is also admitted.'
During a previous hearing in June via videolink Couzens sat with his head bowed, only repeating 'guilty sir' when charges were put to him.
Sarah's family were in court that day too for the 20-minute hearing and saw him make his pleas.
Today Tom Little, QC, prosecuting, told the court: 'Before the defendant kidnapped Sarah Everard, he had not previously met her, he did not know her, and did not have direct or indirect contact with her.
'They were total strangers to each other.'

Psychiatric reports are yet to be prepared, and Lord Justice Fulford said: 'This has been a mammoth investigation which has produced some very significant results to establish what happened.
Mr Little said: 'It was a very swift investigation in which the defendant was identified very quickly given the limited CCTV evidence available to identify the suspect.'
Jim Sturman, QC, for Couzens, said: 'He has pleaded guilty today based on genuine guilt.
'He accepts that the victims in this case are Ms Everard's family and friends, not him.
'He will bear this burden for the rest of his life and in his words 'I deserve it'.'
Lord Justice Fulford remanded Couzens in custody ahead of a two day sentence listed to begin on September 29.
The prosecution had objected to bail when Couzens first appeared at the Old Bailey in March over fears he would kill himself.
Mr Little had said: 'The objections to bail are failure to surrender second a fear of further offending and third remand for the defendants own protection.
'In relation to a failure to surrender we rely on the gravity of the offences, the strength of the evidence and the substantial media coverage setting out what we submit is a substantial risk that he will try to abscond if granted bail.
'He obviously has some knowledge having trained as a police officer which might assist him in that regard.
Couzens is a member of the elite Parliamentary and Diplomatic Protection squad – a role that entitled him to carry a firearm and a Metropolitan Police warrant card.
Formed in 2015, the unit is responsible for the protection of government owned buildings and embassies as well as ministers and visiting heads of state.

Scotland Yard has referred itself to the police watchdog over the arrest of its own officer and separately over the force's actions after Sarah was reported missing.
It was previously revealed she spent a quarter of an hour on the phone making plans to see her boyfriend Josh Lowth the following day, before her mobile was either switched off or ran out of battery.
Mr Lowth, 33, whose LinkedIn says he is Marketing Director at MA Exhibitions, later raised the alarm to police when she failed to meet him as she had arranged, her aunt confirmed.
