Former nightclub doorman Levi Bellfield will remain in jail for the rest of his life for bludgeoning to death two female students and the attempted murder of a third in southwest London.

He was sentenced at the Old Bailey yesterday to two whole life sentences for the murders of French exchange-student Amelie Delagrange, 22, and Marsha McDonnell, 19.

Mr Bellfield, 39, was also given a whole life sentence for the attempted murder of Kate Sheedy, a student who suffered horrific injuries when she was deliberately run over by a car.

All three attacks occurred near bus stops.

Mr Bellfield was not in court to hear the sentences.
