Milly Dowler Murder Trail To Commence
A man accused of murdering Surrey schoolgirl Milly Dowler is due to go on trial at the Old Bailey.
Levi Bellfield, 42, denies kidnapping and murdering the 13-year-old in Walton-on-Thames in March 2002.
Milly Dowler disappeared as she walked home from a railway station after school.
She had just called her father to say she was on her way home.
Her remains were found six months later in woods in Yateley Heath, Hampshire, about 25 miles (40km) from where she was last seen.
She was identified by dental records.
Mr Bellfield has also denied attempting to kidnap schoolgirl Rachel Cowles the day before Milly went missing.
A man in a red car in Shepperton, Surrey, approached 11-year-old Cowles on 20 March that year.
The trial is expected to last two months.
