Serial UK sex attacker jailed for life for double murder, rape after police failings

Simon Levy, 40, was found guilty last week of the murder of Carmenza Valencia-Trujillo in March 2025 ​and of Sheryl Wilkins in August 2025, as well as the rape ​and serious assault of a third woman in January that ⁠year.

Judge Mark Lucraft said Levy was "clearly someone who ruthlessly exploits others ​for your own personal, sexual satisfaction" as he sentenced him to a ​whole-life order without the possibility of parole for the murder of Valencia-Trujillo and Wilkins.

Police had arrested Levy several times for sexual assaults against women on ​rush-hours trains before he was again arrested on suspicion of murdering Valencia-Trujillo, 53, ​in April 2025.
