Friday night, British police confirmed that they had found the remains of 33-year-old Sarah Everard in a forest area in Kent in London.
Everard was reported missing on March 3, and a large-scale search operation was launched for the woman.
The murder of Everard has received enormous attention, and took a new turn when it became known that policeman Wayne Couzens had been arrested, suspected of being behind the kidnapping and murder of the 33-year-old.
According to British media, Couzens started as a police officer in 2018.
Policeman imprisoned
The body of the 33-year-old woman was identified via her teeth after her remains were found in a bag. It emerged during a court hearing on Saturday, writes The Telegraph.
The arrested policeman was strongly influenced, and struggled to pronounce his own name and tell when he was born and where he lived.

According to The Telegraph, he looked down at the ground during large parts of the prison meeting.
The judge requested that the police officer be jailed in the first instance until Tuesday 16 March.
– Respect for Sarah
At the same time as the court hearing took place, hundreds of people gathered in the park where the 33-year-old woman was last seen, on March 3.
Among those who showed up to show their respect was Duchess Kate of Cambridge. Sources close to Buckingham Palace say according to The Telegraph that the Duchess was there for private reasons.
– The Duchess wanted to show her respect to Sarah and her family. She remembers well what it was like to walk around London in the evenings before she got married, sources tell the newspaper.
After the murder of Everard, thousands of women have shared stories about the fear of being assaulted and attacked when you are out and about in the evening.
Due to the coronary restrictions, a number of digital events are planned in several cities around the UK.

– The tragic story of Sarah Everard and the national attention it has provoked, paints a picture of how many women feel insecure in our streets due to sexual harassment and violence. This is a moment for reflection, but also for action, says Chloe Whyte.
She was behind an event in the Scottish city of Edinburgh on Saturday morning.
– We will take to the streets as soon as it is legal and safe to do so, she continues according to the BBC.
