Serial sex attacker Simon Levy is being sentenced today for murdering two women and raping a third. The 40-year-old was found guilty at the Old Bailey of killing grandmother Carmenza Valencia-Trujillo, 53, in March 2025, and mother-of-four Sheryl Wilkins, 39, in August that year.
Sexually motivated attacks
Levy suffocated both women in sexually motivated attacks. Ms Valencia-Trujillo was found in a largely abandoned block of flats on the Aylesbury estate in south-east London, and Ms Wilkins was found behind a car park wall near Tottenham High Road, north London.
The killings followed a harrowing sex attack on a third woman in January last year in the same car park where Ms Wilkins' body was later found. The victim, who suffered a broken collarbone, told police she had been raped and knew where her attacker lived, but she was not formally interviewed until after Levy had killed twice.
Victims remembered
During the trial, prosecutor Tom Little KC said "predatory" Levy had targeted the three vulnerable women, all of whom carried out street sex work.
Carmenza Valencia-Trujillo's children described her as a "big character" and "full of life". She became a grandmother in 2024 and was said to be a "much-loved" member of the community with a love of salsa dancing.
Sheryl Wilkins' family said she was a much-loved woman and was missed every day by those who knew her.
Guilty verdicts
Levy was found guilty of two counts of rape, grievous bodily harm with intent and the non-fatal smothering of the third woman, during his trial. He is now facing jail for his crimes.
