Scotland Yard is to be investigated over its handling of an allegation of indecent exposure against the officer suspected of murdering Sarah Everard. According to the BBC

The police watchdog will consider if Metropolitan Police officers “responded appropriately” to the alleged incident.

Ms. Everard, 33, was last seen in Clapham, south London, on 3 March.

The case has prompted an outpouring of shock and anger as women across the country share their own experiences of feeling unsafe.

Organisers of a “Reclaim These Streets” vigil planned for Saturday evening on Clapham Common claim the police say it cannot go ahead because of pandemic lockdown restrictions and are preparing to go to the High Court.
