Wayne Couzens, the former police officer who murdered Sarah Everard, today lost a Court of Appeal bid to reduce his whole-life prison sentence.
In May, senior judges heard challenges or appeals to the prison sentences of five convicted killers, including Couzens's whole-life term. But on Friday the Lord Chief Justice, Lord Burnett, and four other judges refused to lower his sentence.
The former officer, 48, was last year handed a whole-life term for the rape and murder of 33-year-old Ms Everard, the first time the sentence had been imposed for a single murder of an adult not committed in the course of a terror attack.
