Council Installs CCTV Outside Home of Sarah Everard Murder Suspect
Council workers arrived just after 8.30am on Friday at the home of Met Police officer Wayne Couzens. He has been charged with murdering 33-year-old marketing executive Sarah Everard, who vanished on March 3 while walking home. Her body was found last Wednesday in woodland near Great Chart by specialist officers.
Cherry Picker Used to Fit CCTV by Dover Council
Engineers working for Dover Council used a cherry picker to install a powered, remotely monitored IP camera outside Couzens’ property. A bright yellow CCTV warning sign now faces the house, making it clear the area is under surveillance.
Couzens’ Wife Returns With Damage Report
Shortly after the camera installation, Couzens’ wife arrived back at the property just after 9.20am. She was escorted by Kent Police and Met officers and reportedly carried a list detailing damage caused to the family home during police searches.
Intense Searches Continue Nearby
- Woodland searches in Dover continue into a second day, with rope specialists assisting.
- Counter-terror officers from SO15 were spotted clearing sealed-off zones in Sandwich, removing bags filled with sweet packets and tin cans.
- Dive teams have now left the Sandwich search area.
Local Residents Voice Frustration
One local, speaking anonymously, explained: “We complained about a break-in but the police did nothing.” Kent Police remain stationed around Couzens’ home amid the continuing investigation.
Dover Council has been approached for comment but has yet to respond.
