Gemma Dowler
Teenager Milly Dowler was abducted and brutally murdered by Levi Bellfield in March 2002.
Milly’s sister Gemma has penned a book about the tragedy, giving an insight into the family’s “sassy, funny, outgoing, talented, eccentric, cheeky and loving, fashion guru, talented musician and much-loved daughter and sister”
Gemma was just 16 years old when her sister killed and the book will also tell of the ongoing aftershock for the Dowlers, who were diagnosed with post- traumatic stress disorder in 2013.
They are said to have discovered a new form of therapy which has allowed them to tell their story.
A donation from the book’s proceeds is to be made to the charity Winston’s Wish, which supports bereaved children.
