An incumbent police officer at the Metropolitan Police Department in the United Kingdom has been accused of murdering a woman in her thirties, causing shock and anger in society.
Wayne Cousins, 48, of the Metropolitan Police Department, was accused of kidnapping and killing a 33-year-old woman on her way home.
According to British media and others, the woman had been missing since the night of the 3rd of this month, but was found dead on the 10th in a forest about 80 kilometers away from London.
The suspect and the woman appear to have no acquaintance, and police are investigating the circumstances of the incident.
Cousins was in charge of guarding the British Parliament and foreign embassies.
In the wake of the incident, angry voices about violence against women and crimes have increased in Britain.
On the night of the 13th, a large number of people, mainly women, gathered in London to commemorate the murdered women.
Many women had experienced anxiety and fear while walking alone at night, and were angry, saying, "I may have been involved in the incident."
Prime Minister Johnson posted on Twitter yesterday, emphasizing the idea of taking every step to ensure a safe environment for women and girls.
