Man arrested on suspicion of murdering two women five months apart, Met police say

Man, 40, arrested over death of Sheryl Wilkins in August and rearrested over death of Carmenza Trujillo in March

A man has been arrested on suspicion of committing two murders more than five months apart - with the second allegedly committed while he was being investigated over the first, police have said.

Scotland Yard detectives said Carmenza Trujillo was found dead in south London on 17 March. The man was arrested a little more than a fortnight later, but then released while officers investigated. Police said Sheryl Wilkins died in north London on 24 August. The same man, aged 40, was arrested over both deaths on Thursday.
