You've seen Manhunt , now read Geoffrey Wansell's chilling
portrait of notorious serial killer Levi Bellfield- the only man in
modern British legal history to be given two whole-life sentences.
On 23 Jun 2011 the convicted double-murderer Levi Bellfield was found
guilty of the murder of 13-year-old school girl Milly Dowler.
Milly disappeared on her way home from school in Walton-on-Thames,
Surrey in 2002. Six months later her body was discovered many miles
away. A massive police investigation, the largest manhunt in Surrey's
history, got nowhere. Only when nightclub bouncer and bare-knuckle boxer
Levi Bellfield was arrested for the murder of another young woman did it
become clear to police that they had a serial killer on their hands.
This is the full story of the murders, the victims and the
pain-staking nine-year investigation and trial by police and
prosecutors. It tells of Bellfield's terrifying, controlling
personality - a man who went from charming to monstrous in the blink of
an eye - and his depraved stalking of young women.
Geoffrey Wansell has been acknowledged as one of Britain's leading
authorities on serial killers. He was short-listed for the Whitbread
Prize (now the Costa Book Award) for his biography of Terence Rattigan,
and was appointed by the Official Solicitor to the Supreme Court to
write the biography of Gloucester-based serial killer Frederick West.
