Bellfield given 'whole life' term
Written: 26th February, 2008
A man who murdered two young women and tried to kill a third has been given a "whole life" sentence.
Levi Bellfield, 39, from west London, bludgeoned Amelie Delagrange, 22, and Marsha McDonnell, 19, after they got off buses in south-west London.
He was also found guilty of trying to kill Kate Sheedy, then 18, in 2004 and has been named as a prime suspect in the 2002 murder of Milly Dowler, 13.
Bellfield refused to attend sentencing because of "overnight bad publicity".
