So many chances missed..so how many Victims missed?

COUZENS INQUIRY: FAILINGS THAT LED TO SARAH DEATH

- ANDY LINES

>> Family fury over blunders that kept cop free to murder

>> Police urge other targets of depraved killer to contact them

DETECTIVES last night appealed for more victims of Wayne Couzens to come forward amid fears he could have got away with other sick crimes against women.

And an inquiry into how the serving Met policeman was allowed to rape and murder Sarah Everard warned that unless stricter vetting for recruits is brought in there is nothing to stop another officer turning killer.

A report by Lady Elish Angiolini found at least three forces missed chances to stop Couzens, who built up a string of unpunished sex offences dating back 20 years and should never have been allowed to join the police.

And tragic Sarah's furious family spoke of how she would still be alive today if his crimes had been detected before he snatched her off the street in Clapham, South London, after a fake arrest and strangled her.

Lady Elish identified a catalogue of failings in how Couzens was recruited and vetted, and how allegations against him were investigated.

Branding him a "predatory sex offender and murderer", she said: "Wayne Couzens should never have been a police officer. And, without a significant overhaul, there is nothing to stop another Couzens operating in plain sight. Now is the time for change.

"I would urge all those in authority in every police force to read this and take immediate action.

"Sarah's parents and loved ones live in the perpetual grief and pain of having lost Sarah in this way.

"Her death, and the public discourse it caused, should galvanise those responsible for policing to make sure this can never happen again."

Sarah's grieving family added: "It is obvious that Wayne Couzens should never have been a police officer.
