Wayne Couzens has been served a whole life order at the Old Bailey today.
He is the first police officer to receive this sentence which prevents him from getting parole.
Couzens' abducted Sarah Everard, 33, while she walking home, raped and murder her last year.
The horrific case sparked protests all across the UK, including Scotland, over male violence towards women.
Couzens, 48, was a serving London officer at the time, who guarded diplomatic premises, pleaded guilty to murder, rape and kidnap.
He kidnapped the young women in south London on March 3 and her body was found later in woodland around 50 miles away.
Reuters reports that a post-mortem concluded she had died as a result of compression of the neck.
Prosecutors said that Couzens and Everard were "total strangers", and the murder was a catalyst for outpourings of anger from women who recounted their own experiences and fears of being out alone at night.
After the two day hearing at the Old Bailey, Everard's parents spoke of their loss and anger.
According to one witness, Everard was seen being handcuffed before her abduction as Couzens used his power as a police officer.
Police investigating the case said he may have used COVID-19 protocols as an excuse to falsely arrest her before killing her.
While investigating the murder, and had been employers of Couzens, said it was "sickened, angered and devastated" by his crimes, and Commissioner Cressida Dick has apologised to Everard's family.
Following from this, Britain's police watchdog is now looking into police failures to investigate an indecent exposure incident linked to Cousens back in 2015, and another two allegations in February this year.
Dame Cressida Dick is facing calls to resign in the wake of Sarah Everard's murder amid demands for urgent action to restore the confidence of women in the police.
Harriet Harman MP has asked the Home Secretary, Priti Patel, to take urgent action to "rebuild the shattered confidence of women in the police service", and has told the Metropolitan Police Commissioner she needs to step aside to "enable these changes to be taken through".
