Story summary
  • Mark Lucraft KC sentenced Simon Levy, 40, to a whole-life tariff for killing Carmenza Valencia-Trujillo and Sheryl Wilkins.
  • He also got two life sentences with 12-year minimum terms for rapes, which Laura, who reported him in 2018, said showed police let him keep harming women.
  • Deputy Assistant Commissioner Kevin Southworth said the case exposed a system failure, prompting a watchdog to investigate two officers for mishandling bail and risk-assessment information.
