The former police officer who killed Sarah Everard has reportedly been moved to a new prison.
Wayne Couzens, aged 48, was handed a whole life term in October for the murder of the former university student, 33.
The ex-Metropolitan cop has now reportedly been moved from Belmarsh in London to the Durham prison which is home to the likes of Levi Bellfield and Ian Huntley, as reported by Chronicle Live.
Couzens was transported to hospital on his third day in custody, after being discovered unconscious in a cell at a police station following a suicide attempt while he was awaiting his court trial.
Due to this, he was segregated on a wing for vulnerable inmates throughout his time in both prisons.
However, a source told Sun Online : "They can't keep him hidden away forever and other cons will be queuing to get at him.
"Couzens has a huge target on his head because of his job and what he did," they added.
"The officers are duty-bound to keep him safe and are doing a good job looking after him — albeit through gritted teeth.
"But they have two jobs with Couzens — stop him harming himself and stop others harming him."
Couzens - who at the time of his horrific crime was a serving Metropolitan Police officer - is now serving a life sentence in prison.
He is said to have refused food and threatened to go on a hunger strike in protest at his supposed harsh treatment at the jail.
Other inmates of Couzen’s included Lee Rigby’s killer Michael Adebolajo, cop killer David Beiber and Nazi nail-bomber David Copeland.
The infamous Yorkshire Ripper Peter Sutcliffe was also there, until he died last year.
Couzens, who had finished a 12-hour shift in South London, abducted Sarah in a hire car as she walked home from a friend's house in Clapham at around on March 3 at 9pm.
He had planned the crime for weeks before Sarah vanished and three days before her murder he hired a car from a rental company in Dover.
He also bought handcuffs on Amazon and that night on March 3, hairbands from Tesco.
The Old Bailey heard that Couzens pretended to arrest Sarah in a fake Covid patrol and showed her his warrant card.
The 'arrest' took just five minutes.
It was captured on CCTV and dashcam footage and witnessed by a couple in a car who assumed Sarah "had done something wrong."
Couzens then took her on a tortuous 80-mile journey to Dover before transferring her to his own car, raping and strangling her.
While Couzens languishes in prison, cold case detectives will be pouring over his' every movement over the past 30 years, to see if Sarah Everard's killer is connected to any unsolved crimes, it has been reported.
Officers from the Metropolitan Police - his old work force - are understood to be compiling details of his activities to see if dates correspond with any cold cases.
It also means the 48-year-old's time with the Territorial Army, Kent Police and Dungeness Nuclear Power plant will come under renewed scrutiny.
Kent Police do not believe he is connected with any further crimes within its jurisdiction.
He is known to have committed an indecent exposure when he served on their force in 2015, when he drove naked from the waist down.
