Serving cop and ex constable sent grossly offensive messages in WhatsApp group with Sarah Everard’s killer

A serving police officer and a ex-constable have been found guilty of sending grossly offensive misogynistic and racist messages in a WhatsApp group with Sarah Everard’s killer.

Metropolitan police officer Jonathon Cobban, 35, and former cop Joel Borders, 45, were convicted on Wednesday of sending grossly offensive messages in a chat called 'Bottle and Stoppers', which included Wayne Couzens, 49.

Another serving Met Police officer, William Neville, was also in the What's App group. The 34-year-old was cleared of sending a grossly offensive message following a trial at Westminster Magistrates' Court in July.
