Summary

Levi Bellfield was responsible for the brutal murders of two young women and the attempted murder of another across a 16 month period between 2003 and 2004.

While serving time in prison, he was again found guilty in 2011 of one of the highest profile cases of the 21st century - a crime that had gone unsolved for almost a decade.
