ENGLAND – Harrowing details of Milly Dowler’s final hours as she was raped and murdered by Levi Bellfield have emerged in a statement from her family. They said they hoped her soul could “finally rest in peace”.

Last month, Surrey Police said serial killer Bellfield had admitted the schoolgirl’s abduction, rape and killing for the first time. The family said they were issuing the statement because they believed what had been revealed so far did not reflect Bellfield’s “true heinousness” to the general public. “We believe that they should know what Bellfield did to our beautiful daughter and sister Milly,” the Dowlers said. They said 47-year-old Bellfield abducted Milly and assaulted her near Walton station. He then drove her to his mother’s house and raped her. After this the killer took Milly to another location where her rape and torture continued, until he strangled her the following day.(BBC)…[+]
