Serial killer Levi Bellfield set to be interviewed in prison by police about several unsolved attacks
SERIAL killer Levi Bellfield is set to be interviewed in prison by police about several unsolved attacks.
Detectives want to quiz Bellfield, 52, over violent and sexual offences dating as far back as 1996.
The fresh probe comes after victims came forward following last year’s ITV drama Manhunt starring Martin Clunes — about the search for Bellfield after a murder.
But Met Police officers, who are co-ordinating the investigation, have to wait for lockdown conditions to be eased before they are allowed into prison.
A source said: “There are a lot of violent and sexual offences that are being looked into.
“Some came due to publicity generated by Manhunt and some are separate from that.
“Bellfield is quite an intelligent man, but he was not an intelligent criminal.
“He had a clear pattern of behaviour, which was to stalk women with a hammer and attack them.
“He also had a predilection for young girls.
“So a lot of the crimes fit this pattern.
“And you don’t ask to speak to someone in a Category A prison based on one allegation — it is multiple allegations that show a pattern.”
Ex-wheel clamper Bellfield, who converted to Islam and now calls himself Yusuf Rahim, is in HMP Frankland, Co Durham, serving two whole life sentences.
He was convicted in 2008 of the murders of Marsha McDonnell, 19, in 2003 and French student Amelie Delagrange, 22, in 2004.
In 2011 he was also convicted of the 2002 murder of 13-year-old schoolgirl Milly Dowler.
