Killer who stalked women on the tube guilty of double murder

Simon Levy, 40, preyed on women across London in a seven-year campaign, and was allowed to commit his second murder while he remained a suspect in his first.

British Transport Police had twice asked a magistrates’ court to remand Levy in custody, after he’d been charged, but he was allowed to walk the streets as he awaited a trial date.

At the time of the attack, Levy was under investigation by British Transport Police, having been arrested and released on bail, for three sexual assaults on the Central Line of London’s Underground three months earlier.

He was convicted of those attacks, alongside eight others earlier this year, but the details couldn’t previously be reported.
