Sarah Everard murder: Wayne Couzens' police interview

So we are here to talk to you about the photo. No, Sarah, I don't know. Alright. Sarah disappeared. I'll show you some photos of her the day Sarah disappeared. Wednesday, and her parents obviously and her family are there. I am really concerned about the investigation that has been carried out so far. Those cards can talk to you about it and see what you know about saying "Okay," so would you like to know where Sarah is? Yeah, sure, do you have anything about what happened? Tonight I know that she disappeared somewhere in London, about a week ago, but just from what I have in the news, have you ever met her in person?

No, not personally, if you had any interaction with her in Well, it's very difficult because I can't look at a lot of evidence because obviously that's not part of what an urgent

interview

is. Okay, this

interview

is just about trying to find her because she's been missing for a while. I'm sitting there handcuffed and Noah, so you must have something to say. I know perfectly. I said that you have now been arrested on suspicion of being a child and we believe that you have been involved in her disappearance. taking her away from her family, okay, so we're trying to find her, obviously, everyone is very worried about her, she has, you know, parents, she has a, you know, she's sick, she has a boyfriend, there's a lot of people who care about them. on the news and she's missing and our job, our main job here is to find out and try to find her somewhere safe and healthy, now we believe it, you know something about where she is and that's why we're here to look for her and try to find her. her and that's why we're talking to you now is to try to get you to think about it um well I'm in finance um and they've lent me I don't know who the group gang whatever um and they told me what I need to go pick up girls and take them so I said what was happening and then he realized they were going to hurt my family they were going to take them and use them instead um at that point I don't have the option of trying to find someone so I don't um there's a couple of names they told me a place to take her that's all that's all I know this group of people telling me about them I need to find them tell me everything between a kind of lemon main stone area that the I removed um I still don't know, I don't know, I just parked my car and then the truck came up behind me and showed me they all jumped out um and then they took this girl away um they said, they said you've done well and I don't know if my family will be at work, but they threatened to take my family away from me, so at that moment I'm, I'm doing what I can to protect my family, that's all, so all I know is that it was a roundabout that we could try there now, I could show you, but I sort of don't know Lennon Maidstone, I drove from Ashford, okay?

Yes, there is a roundabout that splits I suppose, so this is the first big roundabout that takes you straight into Maidstone, but instead I went around that roundabout and back down another road, and at that point it stopped, y'all They left. I opened my door, he opens that door and he pushed me against the front of the car, he took the girl and left, that's it, they said we'll be in touch so I'm here, I'm off work with stress because I'm here to protect. my family I want to be here 24/7 for my family they come from my family I have nothing I have no choice I will walk the route with you again in a minute okay but how do you communicate with you?

How did you contact me? I tried to take over one of her cool girls and rip her off of her, so she told them and, um, they have me, so how do they know how to contact you? How come they have been in contact? with you to make these threats, they just tell me to be here, to be here, so the hotel blew up and danny foxton could be here, okay, so I showed up. I don't have a mobile number and they have my mobile number. They're obviously outside. looking following, uh, honestly, how they tell you to be there would be that how can they possibly give you those instructions?

Yeah, they'll go outside, so they'll be outside here, yeah, and then they'll say, well, you're going to stay focused right now or you're going to be in Ashford right now. That's all. There are no links or phone numbers. I am completely alone but at the same time they threaten me. It had Romanian plates on it. van um white like the mercedes sprinter type fan
