Police officer Confesses to Kidnapped,raping woman in UK

BY AGENCY REPORTER                                     

A police officer on Tuesday pleaded guilty to kidnapping and raping of 33-year-old Sarah Everard.

Everard, who disappeared while walking home in South London in early March, sparked a nationwide debate about crime against women.

Everard’s body was found more than a week later in woodland in Kent, some 80 kilometres from where the Londoner was last seen.

A 48-year-old London police officer pleaded guilty to her kidnap and rape, Britain’s Press Association (PA) reports.

He also told the court that he accepted responsibility for her death, but a formal plea was not entered, according to PA.

It remains to be seen if he will face a charge of murder or manslaughter.
