Ex-doorman charged with teen murder

Bellfield, who also worked as a wheel clamper, was in addition charged with the attempted kidnap of another girl, Rachel Cowles.

Thirteen-year-old Milly vanished while walking home from a train station at Walton on Thames, Surrey, in March 2002. Her parents, Bob and Sally, have said they will not rest until the “monster” who killed their daughter is behind bars.

She disappeared in broad daylight from a suburban street as she made her way from school. It was an apparently chance abduction. She had rung her father to say she would be late, she had bought a bag of chips — and was never seen alive again.

Her remains were found six months later by a couple picking mushrooms in secluded Hampshire woodland, about 25 miles away.
