The family of a woman murdered by a Metropolitan Police Officer have praised the BBC's new documentary which aired this evening.

On Monday, a new documentary called Sarah Everard: The Search For Justice was announced for BBC One to look at the aftermath of the 33-year-old London marketing executive’s murder and “how this devastating crime unfolded”.

The 60-minute programme’s production team worked closely with Ms Everard’s parents.

"They hope that it will bring increased focus to issues of women’s safety, and abuse of power by police and others in positions of authority,” the BBC said.
