Three agencies admitted failures that left sex offender free to kill again while on bail

Serial sex offender Simon Levy, serving a whole-life sentence for two murders, was free on bail after the first killing because the CPS (the body that prosecutes crimes in England and Wales) failed to present key risk information at three remand hearings. The CPS, Metropolitan Police, and British Transport Police all admitted errors. Two officers face a watchdog investigation.
