Eyewitness saw Sarah Everard being kidnapped by Wayne Couzens, court hears
A couple travelling in a car witnessed the kidnap of Sarah Everard, the court hears.
The female passenger in the vehicle saw a man and woman standing on the pavement and watched as the woman was handcuffed, prosecutor Tom Little tells the court.
"Sarah Everard was compliant, with her head down and did not appear to be arguing," he adds.
Mr Little says the female passenger believed she was witnessing an undercover police officer arresting a woman whom she assumed "must have done something wrong".
She remarked to her husband that she had seen "a woman being handcuffed", the court hears.
"They were in fact
witnessing the kidnapping of Sarah Everard," Mr Little says.
"She was detained by fraud. The defendant using his warrant card and handcuffs as well as his other police-issue equipment to effect a false arrest.
"Having handcuffed her to the rear she would not have been able to undo the seatbelt that the defendant must have placed over her.
"That was the start of her lengthy ordeal including an 80-mile journey whilst detained which was to lead first to her rape and then her murder."
An image from a bus camera is shown to the court of Couzens with his arm outstretched towards Everard when he is believed to have shown her his warrant card.
Separate dashcam footage shows them standing by Couzens's hired white Vauxhall car with its hazard lights flashing.
Couzens has stared at his feet in the dock throughout the hearing.
