The killer of Sarah Everard has reportedly asked for permission to appeal against his whole-life sentence.
Wayne Couzens, aged 48, admitted the kidnap, rape and murder of Sarah before being told he would die behind bars last month.
The Mirror reports that a court official said on Tuesday (October 26): "We have been notified that an appeal has been lodged by Mr Couzens."
The Met Police officer used Covid-19 powers to falsely arrest Sarah, 33, as she walked home from a friend's house in March.
Handing down a whole-life sentence at the Old Bailey last month, Lord Justice Fulford said Couzens "used his position as a police officer" to kidnap Sarah in Clapham, South London.
If permission is granted the case will be heard by the Court of Appeal Criminal Division.
In September the sentencing judge, Lord Justice Fulford, said by misusing his police role to kidnap, rape and murder Sarah, Couzens' crime was "of equal seriousness as a murder carried out for the purpose of advancing a political, religious, racial or ideological cause".
Couzens is one of more than 60 criminals serving whole-life sentences.
They are reserved for the most serious crimes, such as serial killings and politically motivated murders.
Lee Rigby's murderer Michael Adebolajo, police officer killer Dale Cregan and Mark Bridger, who murdered five-year-old April Jones, were all jailed for the rest of their lives.
Moors murderers Ian Brady and Myra Hindley also got whole-life orders.
Serial killer Levi Bellfield is unique in being given two.
