Everything about the kidnap & murder of Sarah Everard is just gut-wrenchingly awful, and the fact her depraved killer was a serving policeman makes it even more appalling.

Head full of Sarah Everard this morning. To her family and everyone who knew her – love, and the deepest sorrow for your pain and horror. This grotesque thing. This thing which must never be allowed to stand without thoughtfulness and humility. And proper structural change.
