![Carmenza was a grandmother who came here to give her family a better life. Sheryl was a mother of four, killed one day before her 40th birthday.
Mina Smallman, whose daughters Bibaa Henry and Nicole Smallman were murdered in 2020, says one of the women was not taken seriously because she was a sex worker. “Once again, the Met is deciding who matters.”
Before Carmenza’s murder, Levy raped a woman in the same car park where he would later kill Sheryl. She told police where he lived. He was not interviewed until after both murders.
Fourteen women were attacked after the point this should have stopped. Two are dead. The consequences: two misconduct notices and words of advice.
The Met is too big to change. Break it up, and deliver a women’s protection service for London.
