西蒙·利维因谋杀两名女性和强奸一名女性被判终身监禁[1]。利维分别于2025年3月17日和8月24日杀害了53岁的卡门萨·瓦伦西亚-特鲁希略和39岁的谢丽尔·威尔金斯[1]。此外,他在2025年1月对一名35岁的女性实施了强奸和殴打[1]。检控官汤姆·利特表示,利维的犯罪行为严重到应当被判处终身监禁[1]。
利维曾因多次警务失职而被释放,导致其在保释期间继续施暴。利维于2021年因两起性侵犯罪被监禁,出狱后被列入性犯罪者名单[1]。英国交通警察因性侵犯罪逮捕了利维,但在控方程序中出现延误[1]。在保释期间,利维在伦敦进行了另外十次袭击[1]。皇家检控局、伦敦警察厅和英国交通警察已承认犯了错误[1],两名伦敦警察厅的警官因涉嫌失职而接受警察监察机构调查[1]。
Simon Levy has been handed a whole-life sentence for the murder of two women and the rape of another, following a series of serious failures by law enforcement agencies.[1] Levy killed Carmensa Valencia-Trujillo, 53, on March 17, 2025, and Cheryl Wilkins, 39, on August 24, 2025.[1] He also raped and assaulted a 35-year-old woman in January 2025.[1]
The case exposed significant lapses in criminal justice procedures. Levy had previously served a prison sentence for two sexual offences beginning in 2021 and was placed on the sex offenders register upon release.[1] However, British Transport Police arrested him in connection with sexual assault allegations but made errors in processing the charges, leading to his release on bail.[1] While on bail, Levy carried out at least ten additional attacks in London.[1] Prosecutor Tom Litt argued that the severity of Levy's crimes warranted a whole-life sentence.[1]
The Crown Prosecution Service, the Metropolitan Police, and British Transport Police have all acknowledged mistakes in their handling of the case.[1] Two officers from the Metropolitan Police are under investigation by the police watchdog in connection with alleged misconduct.[1]
