'I became a bouncer after Sarah Everard's murder - I want to keep women safe'

A mum-of-two changed careers and retrained as a bouncer after Sarah Everard's murder. Lisa Baskott became a licensed door supervisor in September 2021, six months after Sarah was stopped by Met Police officer Wayne Couzens on her way home before being kidnapped, raped, and killed.

53-year-old Lisa works events and venues in Brighton, where she lives with her children Eva, 16 and Jack, 14. Lisa was born and raised in Clapham where Sarah lived.

After seeing the news Sarah could not believe that such a thing could happen in a place she has fond memories of. "The day that I turned on the TV and saw the news about this woman in Clapham that was missing, that was the first thing that actually hit me because nothing ever really happens in Clapham," Lisa tells the Mirror.
