Met officers referred to prosecutors over Wayne Couzens WhatsApp group

Two serving officers with crisis-hit force referred over group in which misogynistic messages allegedly exchanged

Scotland Yard’s crisis has deepened as it emerged that two officers and one former officer have been referred for potential criminal prosecution over their part in a WhatsApp group with Sarah Everard’s murderer Wayne Couzens where it is alleged that misogynistic and racist messages were swapped.

The Metropolitan police is reeling from the resignation of its commissioner, Cressida Dick, after she failed to convince the mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, that she could root out wrongdoing and transform the force.
