The Government’s outgoing adviser on tackling violence against women has accused former Metropolitan Police commissioner Dame Cressida Dick of trying to minimise the murder of Sarah Everard by serving officer Wayne Couzens.Nimco Ali, a campaigner and survivor of female genital mutilation (FGM), alleged that at a high-level meeting chaired by then-Prime Minister Boris Johnson and several senior ministers shortly after the murder in March 2021, said the commissioner complained the Government’s initial response was “over the top”.
