Serial Killer Levi Bellfield Convicted Again

On 06/23/11 Levi Bellfield was convicted of the murder of  Milly Dowler. He was sentenced to life imprisonment.

Bellfield had already been found guilty of the murders of Marsha Louise McDonnell and Amelie Delagrange and the attempted murder of Kate Sheedy on 25 February 2008.

He is suspected in other crimes one going back to when he was only 12 years old.

After his 2008 murder trial, Bellfield was named by police as a suspect in connection with numerous unsolved murders and attacks on women dating back to 1990 – as well as the murder of a 14-year-old girl in 1980, when Bellfield was 12 years old and attending the same school as the victim.

From Wikipedia Article

 

Levi was a real lady’s man. His ex girlfriend tells of his abuse in an interview.

Miss Johanna Collings also said the twisted murderer would repeatedly rape and beat her during their relationship.

She also said she was also subjected to humiliating sex sessions in which Bellfield would tie a belt around her neck and sexually assault her.

Other times he would burn her with lit cigarettes and once beat her for ironing the wrong pair of work trousers.

His past acquaintances also have horrible stories about this ‘man’.

Ricky Brouillard, who had worked for Bellfield, told police that his former boss had even offered to sell sex with his “naïve” girlfriend, 16, and her sister, 14.

“I would describe Levi as an animal,” Mr Brouillard told police. “I remember being disgusted. I met his girlfriend on one occasion and he said ’Do you want to buy her off me?’.”

Levi Bellfield’s first child (he has 11), Bobbie-Louise made a documentary about her father called “My Dad the Serial Killer” that was shown in January of 2009. It also had 3 of his other children in it.

I found the video online but I am unable to watch it since I live in America. For those of you that live in areas where it can be viewed here is the link.

I feel so bad for his children. He has made them victims as well.

Update on Anthony Sowell Trial

The jury toured Anthony Sowell’s house.

Here is the 6pm follow up.

This is a pretty good article on the tour as well.

News 5 Article

During Bombik’s hour-long presentation Rufus Sims, one of Sowell’s two attorneys, sat with his eyes closed and his hands formed in a steeple.  It was unclear whether Sims was praying or sleeping.

Sims would not have to sit through another long opening argument.  Co-counsel John Parker took only 10 minutes.  Parker tried to convince the jury that 11 bodies on the Sowell property was not enough to convict his client.

“There are no eyewitnesses. There are no fingerprints.  here’s no DNA linking Mr. Sowell to any of the homicides,” Parker said.

I am guessing that Sims was praying. It will take divine intervention for Sowell to be found not guilty.

As to the statement by Mr. Parker I think the bodies link Sowell to the homicides pretty well.

In September, 2009  Sowell invited a woman he knew to his home for a drink. On September 22, 2009 she reported to police that after a few drinks, he became angry, hit her, choked her and raped her as she passed out. On October 29, police arrived at his home with a warrant to arrest him for the alleged rape. He was not there, but they found two bodies on the floor in the living room.  He was located and arrested two days later.

The bodies of four other women were found throughout the home, buried in a shallow grave in the basement and in crawl spaces in the house.  After digging in the backyard, investigators found three more bodies and the remains of a fourth. Police also found a human skull in a bucket inside the house, which brought the body count to eleven.

I guess the that same person that John Wayne Gacy claimed hid the bodies under his house is back at it?

I respect the law and the justice system but I have a hard time figuring out why some cases go to trial.
