A jury at the Old Bailey has convicted Simon Levy of murdering two women and raping a third in a series of attacks across London, despite the fact that he was already under monitoring by the Metropolitan Police at the time. Levy, 40, was found guilty of killing 53-year-old Carmenza Valencia-Trujillo in March 2025 and 39-year-old Sheryl Wilkins roughly five months later, as well as raping a separate woman in January 2025 in the same Tottenham car park where Wilkins's body was later discovered.
Jurors were told that Levy, who lived in Tottenham, had a documented history of sexual offending stretching back to July 2018, including an assault carried out against a prison officer in 2022. Prosecutors said he deliberately sought out vulnerable women in isolated parts of the capital, using secluded locations to carry out his attacks.
Levy chose not to give evidence in his own defence during the trial and denied all charges, which included the two murders, two counts of rape, grievous bodily harm with intent, and non-fatal suffocation against the woman who survived. After being given a majority direction, the jury returned guilty verdicts on every count following 13 hours of deliberation.
What else did the trial hear about Levy's history and the attacks?
According to the Independent, both women killed by Levy worked as sex workers, and the attacks were carried out in or around car parks in the Tottenham area. In his closing speech, prosecutor Tom Little KC branded Levy a
"bare-faced liar", according to reporting from an iHeart podcast episode covering the trial.
The same Independent report notes that Levy had already been convicted of two sexual assaults dating from 2018 and a further eleven sexual assaults following a separate trial in February 2026, with jurors in the murder case hearing about this pattern of offending. Separately, according to the Daily Mail, Levy was on bail over alleged attacks on women on the London Underground at the time he was facing the murder and rape charges.
Court listings reviewed via Open Court Data show the case moving through the Central Criminal Court in June 2026, with hearings recorded on 22, 23 and 24 June 2026 ahead of the verdicts.
This case follows Levy's denial of the charges reported in our earlier coverage of his trial, published on 29 June 2026, when the court first heard that the victims were vulnerable women targeted in what prosecutors described as predatory attacks.
Was Levy already serving a sentence for other offences?
Yes. According to a national broadcaster's report, Levy was jailed earlier in 2026 for six years, with an additional three-year extended licence period, after being convicted of 11 sexual assaults committed between 14 April 2022 and 29 May 2025. This earlier sentence sits alongside the murder and rape convictions now returned by the Old Bailey jury.
What happens next?
Sentencing in the murder and rape case is expected to follow the guilty verdicts, though no confirmed date has yet been reported. This is a developing story and further details, including sentencing information, are expected to be published as they become available.
