- About 100 people gathered at Clapham Common for a peaceful remembrance near where Sarah Everard was last seen, with donations raised for Solace Women’s Aid.
- Met commissioner Sir Mark Rowley called the murder a profound betrayal and said an integrity reset has removed about 1,500 officers and staff while tightening vetting and standards.
- The Angiolini Inquiry found police missed eight opportunities to stop Wayne Couzens and concluded he should never have been a police officer.
