Guilty Verdict In Bus Stalker Trial
Levi Bellfield has been found guilty of the murders of two women in the trial dubbed the 'Bus Stalker' killings.
Bellfield was found guilty of the murders of Amelie Delagrange, 22, in August 2004 and Marsha McDonnell, 19, in February 2003, following nearly six days of deliberation by the jury at the Old Bailey.
Bellfield, 39, from west London, was also found guilty of the attempted murder of 18-year-old Kate Sheedy.
He is due to be sentenced on Tuesday.
The jury failed to reach a verdict on the charges of kidnap and false imprisonment of 17-year-old Anna-Maria Rennie and attempted murder of Irma Dragoshi, 33.
The Crown Prosecution Service has said that it would not be seeking a retrial on the two counts.
The attacks all took place near bus stops in the Twickenham area of west London, between 2001 and 2004.
During the three-and-a-half month trial, the prosecution alleged that Bellfield trawled buses and bus stops for women and attacked them when he was rejected.
He denied all the charges against him and claimed that he was a victim of mistaken identity.
It has now been revealed that Bellfield is the prime suspect in the murder of Milly Dowler in Surrey in 2002. He will be questioned by police about the 13-year-old's murder and it has also been confirmed that he is suspected of carrying out another 20 attacks on women.
