00:01Following a misconduct hearing in October, former Met Police Constable Claire Tett was found to have committed gross misconduct and
00:10was dismissed without notice.
00:12She is one of several officers identified who had accessed material related to the investigation of Miss Everard without an
00:19apparent policing purpose.
00:21Miss Everard's 33-year-old marketing executive was reported missing on the 4th of March 2021.
00:28Some five days later, Cousins was arrested on suspicion of kidnap and detained.
00:35His name was not in the public domain until the 12th of March.
00:39It is said that on the 10th of March, Miss Tett used police systems to access the custody records of
00:46Wayne Cousins and his wife and the crime report information system for Miss Everard's case.
00:53The officer had also accessed custody records for a further four detainees held in London police stations on suspicion of
01:01serious offences such as murder and blackmail.
01:04The authority said that Miss Tett, who had more than 20 years of experience, had completed training and would have
01:11known that police data should only be accessed for official purposes only.
01:16It further argued that in order to access the records, she would have clicked through warnings which state it as
01:24an offence to continue without proper authorisation.
