Judge sentences sex offender Simon Levy for double murder and rape – watch LIVE
Warning – this livestream may contain distressing details.
Simon Levy, 40, was found guilty at the Old Bailey of murdering grandmother Carmenza Valencia-Trujillo, 53, in March 2025 and mother-of-four Sheryl Wilkins, 39, in August that year.
He suffocated both women in sexually motivated attacks, with Ms Valencia-Trujillo found in a largely abandoned block of flats on the Aylesbury estate in south-east London, and Ms Wilkins behind a car park wall near Tottenham High Road, north London.
The killings came after he subjected a third woman to a brutal sex attack in January last year in the same car park where Ms Wilkins’ body was later found.
The surviving victim, who suffered a broken collarbone, told police at the time that she had been raped and knew where her attacker lived, but she was not formally interviewed until after Levy had killed twice.
The jury also found Levy guilty of two counts of rape, grievous bodily harm with intent and the non-fatal smothering of the third woman.
During the murder trial, prosecutor Tom Little KC had said “predatory” Levy had targeted the three vulnerable women, all of whom carried out street sex work in order to fund drug addictions.
