Milly Dowler jury visits scene

Judge and jury will follow route murdered Milly Dowler took on walk home from school nine years ago A judge and jury are walking in the final footsteps of murdered Milly Dowler as the trial of Levi Bellfield continues. They will follow the route the prosecution say she took before being abducted and killed nine years ago. The Old Bailey jury of five women and seven men has been told that she had chips in the cafe of Walton-on-Thames station, Surrey, before starting her 15-minute journey home. Milly, 13, used a friend’s mobile phone to ring her father, Bob, to tell him she would be a little late home after school but that she was fine. She was last seen walking along Station Avenue by a friend at a bus stop. Bellfield had been living off Station Avenue in Collingwood Place, jurors have heard. Bellfield, 42, denies abducting and murdering Milly in March 2002. He denies trying to abduct an 11-year-old schoolgirl the day before in nearby Shepperton. Bellfield is taking part in the site visit but viewing the scenes separately. The visit will begin in Upper Halliford Road, Shepperton, where schoolgirl Rachel Cowles, 11, was offered a lift by a stranger in a red car. Bellfield, a former wheelclamper and bouncer, was convicted in 2008 of murdering Marsha McDonnell, 19, Amelie Delagrange, 22, and attempting to murder Kate Sheedy, 18.
