A 40-year-old man, Simon Levy, from Tottenham, north London, is standing trial for murdering two women and raping a third. The court heard that Levy had been convicted of over 13 sexual assaults since July 2018.
The first victim, Carmenza Valencia-Trujillo, 54, was found dead in the stairwell of a derelict building in Walworth on March 17, 2025. Levy's DNA was found at the crime scene and on her body. The cause of death is "unascertained".
The second victim, Sheryl Wilkins, 39, was killed in August 2025. According to prosecutors, Levy met Wilkins in Tottenham and they walked to a car park where she was later found dead behind a wall. A post-mortem examination revealed 83 injuries on her body.
Prosecutors allege that both murders were sexually motivated and that the women's deaths occurred during or after non-consensual sex with Levy. The third victim, who cannot be named for legal reasons, survived an attack by Levy in January 2025 but was left unconscious and strangled.
Levy denies all charges and his defense lawyer has questioned the credibility of the surviving victim. The trial continues at the Old Bailey.
