Ex-Met Police officer Wayne Couzens has lost an attempt to overturn his whole-life term for the murder of Sarah Everard.
Wayne Couzens' lawyer said his remorse should have been taken into account in sentencingThe ex-Metropolitan Police officer, who used his position to trick Ms Everard into his car, had challenged his sentence at the Court of Appeal.
Under the law, judges must consider whole-life sentences in exceptional cases of murder - including double killings or crimes that are particularly sadistic. There are 59 killers currently spending their entire lives in jail. The court ruled the case was outside the normal legal rules for a whole-life tariff and reduced the sentence to life with a minimum term of 35 years.
