00:00A former Metropolitan Police officer has been dismissed for accessing confidential records
00:06linked to Sarah Everard's murder investigation. A misconduct tribunal found Claire Tett had no
00:12proper policing purpose when she searched police systems on 10 March 2021, the day after Wayne
00:20Cousins was arrested. The panel said she was motivated by curiosity to identify the officer
00:26being held. Tett had argued she was using the case to refresh her license on a police system,
00:31but the tribunal rejected that explanation and found gross misconduct. She had accessed records
00:38relating to other detainees suspected of serious offenses. Tett was dismissed without notice.
