According to reports, prison officials are unhappy with the special treatment that Levi Bellfield is receiving while serving two life sentences for the brutal murders of two women and a young girl. Bellfield, who is now 57 years old, was convicted in 2011 for the killings of 13-year-old Milly Dowler, 19-year-old Marsha McDonnell, and 22-year-old Amelie Delagrange between 2002 and 2003. He is the only prisoner in the UK to have been given two whole-life tariffs, and he was also found guilty of attempting to murder Kate Sheedy in 2004.
At HMP Frankland, where Bellfield is currently incarcerated, he has been designated as an "enhanced prisoner," which means he is allowed certain privileges. These include a cooked breakfast every Saturday and access to an Xbox games console, as reported by MailOnline. In addition, he receives an extra £13.20 per week to spend on snacks at the prison's canteen. This news has caused frustration and discontent among the prison staff, who feel that Bellfield's crimes do not warrant such privileges.
A source from the prison shared, "They don't call it Monster Mansion for nothing; we are used to the worst of the worst here. Bellfield isn't causing any trouble on the unit, but it just doesn't sit right that a man convicted of such heinous crimes is allowed to play Xbox." The source goes on to explain that those serving whole-life orders should only receive the bare minimum, but their hands are tied as prison officers.
It's worth noting that while inmates at HMP Frankland are not allowed to play violent video games, they are permitted to play other games such as sports titles. Bellfield, who has converted to Islam while in prison and now goes by the name Yusuf Rahim, has reportedly applied to get married. However, he later withdrew this application and instead submitted one for a civil partnership. It is believed that his request was denied, and he even tried to appeal the decision with the help of legal aid.
In a shocking turn of events, in 2023, Bellfield supposedly wrote and signed a confession for the murder of 19-year-old Vietnamese student Elizabeth Chau. However, investigators concluded that he was lying. This is not the first time Bellfield has claimed responsibility for a murder he did not commit, as he has a history of manipulating the legal system.
Among the other notorious inmates at HMP Frankland are Wayne Couzens, who was convicted of the murder of Sarah Everard, and Ian Huntley, who killed two young girls in the infamous Soham murders. A spokesperson from the Ministry of Justice stated, "Having received two whole-life orders, Bellfield will rightly spend the rest of his life in jail." However, it seems that the issue of Bellfield's privileges is causing quite a stir among both the prison staff and the public.
