British Murders with Stuart Blues

In the season 4 special of British Murders, I tell the story of Levi Bellfield, aka “The Bus Stop Killer”.⁣

Bellfield was found guilty on February 25, 2008, of the murders of Marsha McDonnell and Amélie Delagrange and the attempted murder of Kate Sheedy, for which he was sentenced to life imprisonment.⁣

On June 23, 2011, Bellfield was found guilty of a third murder, 13-year-old schoolgirl Amanda “Milly” Dowler.⁣

Bellfield is the only UK serial killer to be handed two whole life orders, meaning he will never be considered for parole.⁣

In the first episode of this 2 part special, we'll focus on Bellfield’s childhood and background before the murders.⁣

Next week, we'll discuss the murders themselves as well as the trials that followed.⁣

S04E10 - James Patterson Smith (The Murder of Kelly-Anne Bates)

4 Recommendations

In the tenth and final episode of British Murders Season 4, I tell the story of James Patterson Smith and Kelly-Anne Bates.⁣⁣⁣

On April 16, 1996, middle-aged James Smith drowned his 17-year-old girlfriend, Kelly-Anne, in the bath.⁣

Kelly-Anne had been brutally tortured by James for around 4 weeks prior to being murdered.⁣

Detective Sergeant Joseph Monaghan said he has never seen a case as horrific as this in his 15 years on the police force.⁣

James Smith was handed a life sentence on November 19, 1997, with a minimum term to serve of 20 years.⁣

This is one of the most brutal cases I’ve ever researched, so prepare yourself before listening.
