Serial sex offender guilty of double murder and rape
A serial sex offender who was being monitored by the Metropolitan Police has been found guilty of murdering two women and raping a third in London.
Simon Levy, a serial sex offender, has been found guilty of murdering two women and raping a third in London. The 40-year-old from Tottenham had a history of attacking women dating back to 2018. He killed Carmenza Valencia-Trujillo, 53, in March 2025 and Sheryl Wilkins, 39, five months later in the same Tottenham car park where Wilkins was found dead.
Levy also raped a third woman in January 2025 in the same car park. During his trial at the Old Bailey, jurors heard about Levy's string of convictions for attacking women. The jury found him guilty after 13 hours of deliberation. The victims' families were emotional as the verdicts were returned. The Metropolitan Police admitted failings in how they dealt with Levy, who was on bail during his attacks.
Crime and Policing Minister Sarah Jones called for urgent answers to the questions raised by Levy's crimes. The victims' families described Levy as a dangerous and predatory offender, while the Met emphasized their commitment to professionalism and dedication in the investigation. Two Met officers are under investigation for mishandling Levy's case.
