First phase of Sarah Everard independent inquiry to conclude this year
The option remains to convert it into a statutory inquiry, Ms Patel added.
She said: "I am determined to understand the failings that enabled a serving officer to commit such heinous crimes - we owe an explanation to Sarah's family and loved ones, and we need to do all in our power to prevent something like this from ever happening again." Dame Elish Angiolini QC said: "The publication of the terms of reference is a significant step forward to progressing this vital inquiry and ensuring Sarah's family and the wider public get a full understanding and explanation of the causes of, and factors contributing to, this tragic and harrowing murder."
