marketing executive Ms Everard in London, meaning he will never be freed from jail.
Her shocking murder has sparked campaigners to call on government, police forces and councils to take action to tackle violence against women.
The Government has pledged a £45million fund for safer streets that will include installing improved lighting and CCTV.
But stark figures reveal that across the UK at least 80 women have been killed by men, or a man has been identified as the prime suspect, since Ms Everard’s murder.
That’s according to the group Counting Dead Women, a website which tracks female killings in the UK.
Police investigations into the deaths of five of the eight women killed since Sarah Everard was murdered last spring are still ongoing. Whilst it is not conclusive they were killed by men, all of the women killed met untimely deaths.
