Oh no but I’ll definitely check it out!
Has anyone ever followed the Chillenden murders, mum, two daughters and dog attacked with a hammer. on a country road on the way back from school, one of the daughters made it. It was the first crime I remember hearing reported on the news when it happened and bursting my naive bubble that the world was a safe place and finding it absolutely terrifying.
Michael Stone is in Jail for the murders but there are has always been some controversy they got the wrong guys and that Levi Bellfield was the attacker, even though he has quite a solid alibi.
I have always thought that the Mo was very similar to that of the murders of Lyn Bryant, Kate Bushell and Julia Webb, quiet country lanes, all dog walkers, no robbery or apparent sexual motive, frenzied attack which doesn’t seem to have any planning or motive...
I was never sure even Belfield was behind that or any of the other murders but when I checked last week to see if any advances on the case there has been a letter retrieved that Belfield wrote to a pen pal which included the following...
“You mention the Chillenden murders. I was also attracted to the older woman. Dark curly hair, 40-45, slim, the horse type, outdoor dog walker, house-wife type. I had a thing for this type of woman, again who don’t.”
He wrote: “Kent has many lanes and isolated tracks. Horse fields everywhere, lovely countryside.”
“you are aware, I did enjoy some outdoor fun. So such areas certainly accommodated my addictive hobby.”
I’d be really interested if anyone has read up on these cases and thought the same or can add any more to support or argue the connection.
