Convicted rapist and murderer Wayne Couzens is seeking permission to appeal the whole-life sentence handed down to him for the murder of Sarah Everard.
The former police officer used Covid powers to falsely arrest Sarah, 33, as she walked home from a friend's house in March, reports the Mirror.
Lord Justice Fulford who handed down the sentence to the disgraced officer at the Old Bailey last month said Couzens "used his position as a police officer" to kidnap Sarah in Clapham, South London.

A court official said on Tuesday: "We have been notified that an appeal has been lodged by Mr Couzens."
If permission is granted the case will be heard by the Court of Appeal Criminal Division.
Couzens, 48, pleaded guilty to the kidnap, rape and murder of Sarah.
Couzens is one of over 60 criminals serving whole-life sentences.
They are reserved for the most serious crimes such as serial killings and politically motivated murders.
Lord Justice Fulford said by misusing his police role to kidnap, rape and murder Sarah, his crime was "of equal seriousness as a murder carried out for the purpose of advancing a political, religious, racial or ideological cause".
Couzens joins infamous killers such as Lee Rigby's murderer Michael Adebolajo, police officer killer Dale Cregan and Mark Bridger, who murdered five-year-old April Jones.
Moors murderers Ian Brady and Myra Hindley also got whole-life orders.
Serial killer Levi Bellfield is unique in being given two.
