Levi Bellfield, a 38-year-old man from West Drayton, West London, was is charged with the murders of two women and the attempted murders of two other women between 2001 and 2005.

Amelie Delagrange a 22-year-old French exchange student living in South-West London, was crossing a cricket pitch on Twickenham Green on the 19th August 2004 when she was attacked with a hammer or iron bar and left for dead. Her body was found later by a local barman. Her murder sparked a huge publicity campaign, prompting calls from the public about other attacks of a similar nature - and links with another murder.

Marsha McDonnell On the 4th February 2003, 19-year-old Marsha McDonnell was bludgeoned to death in Priory Road, Hampton. The murder achieved a high profile and was soon linked to several other incidents where young, blonde women were hit over the head with heavy, blunt instruments.
