Levy, a resident of Tottenham in north London, was found guilty at the Old Bailey last Friday on multiple serious charges. These included two counts of murder, two counts of rape, grievous bodily harm with intent, and an incident of non-fatal suffocation. Following the verdict, he was taken into custody and is scheduled for sentencing on 12 August.

The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) has confirmed that it launched an investigation in January after a voluntary referral was made by the Metropolitan Police. This inquiry is still ongoing. The IOPC clarified that the issuance of misconduct or gross misconduct notices does not necessarily lead to formal disciplinary actions.

As part of the investigation, the IOPC is scrutinising how Levy was managed over a four-year period. This timeline stretches from his first conviction on sexual assault charges in September 2021 through to his arrest in September 2025. It was noted that Levy was released on licence in February 2023, briefly returned to prison in May 2024 after being accused of rape and breaching licence conditions, though he was not charged at that time.

During the trial, the jury was directed to a majority verdict and found Levy guilty on all charges. Evidence presented revealed Levy had a history of offences against women dating back to July 2018, including an assault on a prison officer in 2022. An IOPC spokesperson stated they are investigating whether the authorities took appropriate steps to prevent Levy’s repeated offences and if all personnel involved adhered to required policies and training. The spokesperson also mentioned that the review aims to identify any lessons or changes needed at individual, organisational, or national levels based on these events
