  • A police officer in London's diplomatic protection force was arrested Wednesday on suspicion of murder following the disappearance of a 33-year-old woman while she was walking home, police said. The Metropolitan Police said the officer, who is a member of the same force, was originally detained late Tuesday on suspicion of kidnapping, and is also being held on a separate allegation of indecent exposure. The officer, aged in his 40s and who serves in the parliamentary and diplomatic protection command, remains in custody at a police station in the British capital, the police said. A woman in her 30s was also arrested Tuesday on suspicion of assisting an offender and remains in custody as part of the investigation into the case, the force added. The arrests follow a week-long investigation into the disappearance of Sarah Everard, who vanished while walking home from a friend's flat in south London on the evening of March 3. The marketing executive was last seen on CCTV walking alone on a street, but never made it home, according to police, whose repeated appeals for information have received wide media coverage. Officers on Wednesday were searching locations in London and in Kent, southeast of the capital, including woodland near the town of Ashford. The arrested officer, whose primary role was armed patrols of diplomatic premises, was taken into custody in Kent on Tuesday. "We will continue to work with all speed on this investigation, but the fact that the arrested man is a serving Metropolitan Police officer is both shocking and deeply disturbing," Assistant Commissioner Nick Ephgrave said in a statement. The Met's parliamentary and diplomatic protection command, known internally as PaDP, was created in 2015 and is the UK's largest armed police unit. It is tasked with various roles involving the protection of high profile individuals and iconic sites. The arrest of one of its officers triggered an automatic referral to the Independent Office for Police Conduct watchdog, which deals with policing complaints in England and Wales. London mayor Sadiq Khan said in a statement he recognised people would be "shocked and worried" by the developments in the case. "I know how concerned the public will be at the news that a serving police officer has been arrested, and it is right that the case has been referred to the police watchdog for independent investigation," he said. jj/spm
