THIS is the chilling moment Wayne Couzens moans “I’m not in a good place” in his police interview after murdering Sarah Everard.
The monster can be seen rocking from side to side with a plaster on his head after harming himself in custody.

Couzens then tells officers “I’m in a dark place” when asked how he is feeling.
But the killer cop chooses not to help the police and instead replies “no comment” to every question.
The disturbing footage has been shown for the first time in BBC documentary Sarah Everard: The Search for Justice.
Couzens had been arrested after CCTV identified him standing next to Sarah before she vanished in Clapham, South London, in March 2021.
The sex beast lured Sarah, 33, into his car using his warrant card before he raped and murdered her.
He then spun a bizarre web of lies involving a gang from the “Bulgaria, Romania Albania” region.
During his police interview, Couzens writhes in his seat as he is shown a picture of Sarah to see if he recognises her.
He shuts his eyes and replies “no comment” before remaining emotionless when told the photo is of Sarah Everard.
Couzens continues to refuse to answer after officers ask if he used his warrant card to lure Sarah into his car.
One cop then asks: “Is that how she trusted you? Because obviously as a police officer, we know we are in a position… People trust us, don’t they?
“People trust us to look after them. People trust us to help them. Protect and serve, that’s what they say. We all took that oath. You included.”
Detective Chief Inspector Katherine Goodwin, who led the investigation, earlier revealed the moment she discovered Couzens was a serving police officer.
A police computer had identified he was suspected of being a flasher — before triggering an alert that he was a gun cop.

She said: “At that time, Wayne Couzens was a name that meant nothing to any of us.”
DCI Goodwin said the discovery he was accused of indecent exposure “changed everything”.
She added: “Suddenly, it was clear Sarah had got into the car of an alleged sex offender.”
Couzens was given a whole-life tariff
The officer then found out about his gun cop job with the Met and told her boss.
DCI Goodwin added: “I can just remember the shock of having to just sit on the floor of the office and say to her, ‘You’re not going to believe this, that he’s a police officer’.”
Couzens had hatched a ghastly plot to travel to London and abduct a woman.
On February 28, 2021, he rented the car used to snatch Sarah using his name, address and two different mobile phones.
The killer then prowled the dark streets looking for prey when he spotted Sarah walking home on March 3.
The Met Police officer, who was wearing a police belt later used to strangle Sarah, then produced his warrant card as he tricked her into a fake arrest.

The final time Sarah was seen alive was in the back of Couzen’s rental car as she was driven to her death just five minutes after the predator pounced.
What followed was a terrifying 50-mile journey from London to Dover where Sarah – trapped by handcuffs and her seatbelt – was unable to escape.
After strangling defenceless Sarah, Couzens treated himself to a hot chocolate with coconut milk and Bakewell tart from Costa.
He then chucked her phone in a river and was spotted on CCTV filling up a jerry can with petrol.
The monster used the fuel to burn Sarah’s body in a discarded fridge on a plot of land he owned, which he once described as “perfect for a day out”.
Couzens put her charred remains in green rubble bags and dumped them in a pond in woodland.
The cop, who joined the Met Police in 2018, was charged with kidnap and murder more than a week after Sarah first vanished.
Couzens, who worked on the Parliamentary and Diplomatic Protection Command unit, had finished a shift earlier on the morning of March 3 and was not on duty at the time of Sarah’s disappearance.
Despite wiping his phone, data on the device linked Couzens to the abduction and eventually the area where Sarah was found.
After his arrest, the dedicated family man persona the monster tried creating began to crumble.
The married dad-of-two was revealed as a sex pest who contacted escorts and used a Match.com dating profile.
But even more sinister, it emerged Couzens had slipped through the net despite indulging in dark fantasies.
His creeped-out colleagues branded him “The Rapist” and knew he had a sadistic interest in violent porn.
Couzens has since admitted indecent exposure, including one incident at a McDonald’s just days before Sarah’s murder.
In September 2021, Couzens joined the grim ranks of criminals in the UK who will die behind bars after receiving a whole-life tariff.
He was handed a further 19 months in March last year after pleading guilty to three counts of indecent exposure.
Sarah Everard: The Search For Justice is on BBC One on Tuesday at 9pm.
