Officer suspected of murder and indecent exposure in case that has raised serious concerns about women’s safety in the UK.
The police watchdog for England and Wales has launched an investigation into London’s Metropolitan Police Service (Met) over its handling of alleged indecent exposure by a police officer suspected of murdering a 33-year-old woman. The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) said in a statement on Thursday that it will consider if the force “responded appropriately” to the reported incident, which took place three days before Sarah Everard’s disappearance. The IOPC’s announcement came as women in the United Kingdom shared their fears and anger over how unsafe they feel walking the streets after Everard went missing in London last week, and the subsequent arrest of a Met police officer on suspicion of her kidnap and killing.
