This is stated by the police in a press release late Tuesday night, according to Sky News.
The policeman was arrested at an address in Kent and is now in custody at a police station in London. A woman who was at the same address has also been arrested on suspicion of complicity.
Found under mysterious circumstances
Extensive investigation
– This is a significant development in the investigation. It’s a fast-moving investigation, and you’re doing everything we can to find Sarah, “said Police Inspector Katherine Goodwin.
Everard has not been seen or heard from since she left the apartment of a friend in south-west London at 9 pm last Wednesday. She was on her way home to Brixton.
Since then, the police have conducted an extensive search operation and investigation.
– We have seen an overwhelming response from the public, and I repeat my request that anyone with information, which may be relevant, come to us – no matter how insignificant it may seem, Goodwin says.
– Very outrageous
Assistant Police Chief Nick Ephgrave is shocked by the arrest on Tuesday night.
– The arrest tonight is a serious and significant development. We will continue to work at full speed in this investigation, but the fact that the arrested man is serving in the London police is both shocking and very outrageous, says Ephgrave, according to Sky News.
On Tuesday, the police published two new photos of the 33-year-old. In one of the pictures she is wearing the same jacket as the night she disappeared.
