On an exclusive episode of the Daily Mail's The Trial podcast, host Caroline Cheetham and veteran crime reporter Rebecca Camber lay bare the years of missed opportunities to put sexual predator Simon Levy behind bars before he murdered two women.
Levy, 40, was today convicted of murdering sex workers Carmenza Valencia-Trujillo, 54, and Sheryl Wilkins, 39, whose bodies were found five months apart in south and north London last year. He was also found guilty of twice raping, suffocating and inflicting grievous bodily harm on another woman, who cannot be named for legal reasons.
Levy already had a sizable rap sheet for sex crimes stretching back to 2018. He had been convicted 13 times, including for an attack on a female officer inside HMP Brixton while serving his first sentence. Yet police and the courts bailed him again and again, and each time he went out and attacked more women.
Camber, who has covered the case for the Daily Mail from the Old Bailey, was scathing about the collective failure of police, courts and the probation service, which allowed Levy to escalate over seven years from groping women at street parties to murder.
