Milly Dowler killer Levi Bellfield trying to save skin in prison by turning to Islam

the serial killer has been reading religious material given to him by the fearsome Muslim Boys Gang, who protect anyone they convert.


 Bellfield, 43, had death threats and was put in the segregation unit in Belmarsh jail for his protection after he was convicted last week of killing Milly Dowler, 13.

A prison source said yesterday: “Previously he would hang around with ­notorious ­criminals but prisoners who have attacked ­children are hated in jail.

“Bellfield knows he is under threat and it is believed he is taking steps to protect himself. He has been seen chatting with key members of the Muslim Boys Gang. Before his latest trial he never associated with them.

“He’s been given Islamic ­material to read in his cell. But he will always be looking over his shoulder.”

Bellfield, also serving life for two other murders and one attempt, is to be transferred from the South-East London jail to HMP Wakefield, West Yorks, dubbed Monster Mansion.
