Levi Bellfield allegedly confessed to the 1996 Russell murders

Multiple murderer Levi Bellfield, currently serving two whole life terms for the murders of three young women, apparently made a detailed confession that included details not in the public domain regarding the murders of Lin and Megan Russell and the attempted murder of Megan’s sister, Josie.

Michael Stone has been in prison for these crimes since being convicted in 1998 and subsequently re-convicted in 2001 after a retrial. There was no forensic evidence or eyewitness testimony against Stone, who was convicted on the basis of a supposed confession to a cell mate that even the crown acknowledged would lie when it suited him.
