Why are women too often not safe on the streets? This question mark has hit almost everybody's heart.
The suspected abduction and murder of a young London woman as she walked home has added the other question mark in the highlighted question. No woman is safe from no human.
The case of Sarah Everard has proved this because the suspect arrested on suspicion of killing her is a U.K. police officer whose job was protecting top politicians and diplomats.
Everard, a 33-year-old marketing executive, had gone for a walk on March 3 and hasn't been seen since.
On Tuesday, police arrested a suspect who is a 40-year-old member of the force's Parliamentary and Diplomatic Protection Command. The victim's family can do nothing but grieve staring at the pictures of their daughter.
On Wednesday, a grim-faced Metropolitan Police Commissioner Cressida Dick said officers had found human remains in woodland southeast of London. They have not yet been formally identified but her family said, "Our beautiful daughter Sarah was taken from us and we are appealing for any information that will help to solve this terrible crime.”
This is not the first case of any woman being kidnapped or murdered. The women from the neighborhood poured their grief saying they don't feel safe anywhere.
Columnist Gaby Hinsliff wrote in The Guardian, “Footsteps on a dark street. Keys gripped between your fingers. There but for the grace of God.”
This shows how women are set free but inside a cage. Due to the lockdown, the case has been hard to continue smoothly. Though the policies have been searching for the proofs.
The Independent Office of Police Conduct is also investigating how the suspect sustained a head injury while he was in custody.
The police force says he was found injured in his cell and taken to a hospital for treatment before being returned to a police station.
