Woman will never forget smell of alleged rapist’s hand, jury told

The alleged rape happened in the same car park where Wilkins was later found dead, the court heard.

Afterwards, the woman told a friend what had happened, as well as warning another woman Levy was a “rapist”.

Four days later she also told police she had been raped, but was not well enough to be interviewed at the time because she was withdrawing from drugs, the court has heard.

Defence barrister Siobhan Grey KC accused the woman of lying about what happened.

The witness responded: “He raped me. He suffocated me. I never forget his face and the smell of his hand on my face.”

Earlier, the woman wept as she told jurors she had lost consciousness after a man, who she knew from the area of White Hart Lane, strangled her, jumped on her back, breaking her collarbone, and raped her.

Grey suggested the woman picked out Levy in an identity parade because she recognised him as somebody she knew from the local library.

The woman replied: “That is the man who raped me and I’m not going to say anything else any more.”
