London, United Kingdom. Simon Levy, 40, was sentenced to a whole-life order on Wednesday after being convicted of murdering Carmenza Valencia-Trujillo and Sheryl Wilkins, as well as rape and serious assault against a third woman.


Convictions and sentence

Levy was found guilty last week of murdering Valencia-Trujillo, 53, in March 2025 and Wilkins, 39, in August 2025.

He was also convicted of raping and seriously assaulting a third woman in January 2025. The court sentenced him for two counts of rape, causing grievous bodily harm with intent and intentional strangulation in relation to that victim.

Judge Mark Lucraft said Levy was “clearly someone who ruthlessly exploits others for your own personal, sexual satisfaction” as he imposed the whole-life order.

Previous arrests

Police had arrested Levy several times for sexual assaults against women on rush-hour trains before arresting him on suspicion of Valencia-Trujillo’s murder in April 2025.

Despite convictions dating back to 2018, Levy had been downgraded by police to a medium-risk offender. After his release, he sexually assaulted five women before killing Wilkins in what was described as a brutal attack.
