The abduction and murder of Sarah Everard is set to be dramatized in a new two-part series for the BBC. “Philomena” scribe Jeff Pope is writing the factual drama, which follows the events of March 2021 when Everard was falsely arrested for breaking lockdown rules by a serving police officer who went on to rape and murder her.

The 33-year-old marketing professional was walking home through South London when she was stopped by officer Wayne Couzens and falsely placed under arrest. He then drove her outside of London to rape and murder her before setting her body on fire and later dumping it in a lake.
