Relatives of victims and a survivor of double murderer and serial sex offender Simon Levy have branded him a “parasite” who deserves to die behind bars.<\/p>\n
Levy, 49, was jailed for life on Wednesday after murdering two women and raping another, all while he was on bail for a series of other sex assaults.<\/p>\n
On Wednesday families of the two women he murdered faced him in court, as a survivor of one the attacks told him he was “not worthy” of any more of her “words or time”.<\/p>\n
The sister of murdered mother-of-four Sheryl Wilkins was in tears as she remembered a “beautiful soul who you cruelly took away in an evil act of crime”.<\/p>\n
Lindsey Hicks told the Old Bailey hearing: “There will never be enough words to express how I feel since losing my big sister Sheryl.<\/p>\n
“You, Simon Levy, have destroyed our lives and we will never get over this.”<\/p>\n
“We should have been growing old together like sisters do and be there to support each other. Instead, I’m having to realise that one day in the near future I will be older than my big sister.<\/p>\n
“We hope you spend the rest of your miserable life behind bars and we get justice for Sheryl. This last year has been the worst year of our lives; the pain you have put us through has been unbearable. Sheryl’s life was taken unlawfully and violently.”<\/p>\n
Addressing Levy directly, as he sat wearing sunglasses for an eye condition in the dock, she added: “Know this, you lose. We get to leave here today knowing we will keep Sheryl alive by sharing memories about her and living for her.<\/p>\n
“We will continue to live as a loving family through our loss, supporting each other. You don’t get to take that away. I hope you rot in prison for the rest of your life.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Relatives of victims and a survivor of double murderer and serial sex offender Simon Levy have branded him…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":735774,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[59,57,58,50,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-735773","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-united-kingdom","tag-gb","tag-great-britain","tag-greatbritain","tag-news","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/735773","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=735773"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/735773\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/735774"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=735773"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=735773"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=735773"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
