Charles Bronson's scathing attack on 'fat sh*t' Levi Bellfield and Ian Huntley

Charles Bronson has launched a stinging attack on child killers Levi Bellfield and Ian Huntley, calling them cowards who need close monitoring behind bars.

The 70-year-old - Britain’s most notorious prisoner - says he cannot wait to taste freedom again with his public parole hearing possibly taking place in June, over 40 years after being sent down.

Bronson was first locked up for armed robbery in 1974, but during his time inside took hostages in numerous prison sieges, is said to have attacked at least 20 prison officers and caused £500,000 in damage in rooftop protests.

In a phone call from jail, he has taken aim at twisted murderers Bellfield and Huntley, whose paths he crossed as he served his sentence.

He called Bellfield, doing life for the murders of 13-year-old Milly Dowler, Amelie Delagrange, 22, and 19-year-old Marsha McDonnell, an 'evil fat sh*t'.

He meanwhile says callous killer Huntley, the school caretaker who murdered 10-year-olds Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman in 2002, has had visits from teenage girls.

Bronson is disgusted that serial killer Bellfield was allegedly caught groping a female penpal visiting him at HMP Frankland.

He said: “Did you see that piece of sh*t was on a visit with a woman, and allegedly groped her? It’s upset me because people like Bellfield are evil monsters. He’s a serial killer.

“I’ve done my bird [jail sentence] for all these years – 30-odd odd years of my sentence has been in solitary isolation, punishment blocks, dungeons, closed visits...I couldn’t even smell my visitors, let alone touch them.

“That man should never be on an open visit. All his life he should be isolated.

“Bellfield, from the day he was sentenced 20 years ago has been on the protection wings. He’s not just a murdering bastard, he’s a coward.

“He couldn’t go on a normal location wing, as he’d be served up [on a platter] – like the Yorkshire Ripper, Ian Huntley, people like that.”

He also launched into Soham murderer Huntley, who was at HMP Wakefield when Bronson was held there.

He said: “My best mate Ray Williams, god bless him, he’s no longer around, came up to see me once in Wakefield. All my visits in Wakefield were in a cage. It was like going to London Zoo. A couple of screws had brought him over and I could see he was upset. I said, ‘What’s up, mate?’

“He said, ‘I’ve just come through the visiting room. I’ve just seen that Ian Huntley sitting there with two girls – two teenage girls visiting him, and I was going to go over and f***ing knock him out. And a screw grabbed my arm and said, ‘Don’t do it, Ray’.

“Ray was fuming...he’s come up to visit me and he sees me in a cage – I’m not allowed in the visiting room, and he’s got to walk through that visiting room, seeing Ian Huntley sitting there with two teenage girls.”

But Bronson says he was thrilled Peter Sutcliffe died inside in 2020.

He added: “I tell you one great thing that did come out of Frankland Prison – see that Covid? It f***ing killed the Yorkshire Ripper, Peter Sutcliffe. I think that’s blinding, that’s brilliant.”

He also believes Michael Stone, who he has served time with, was wrongly convicted of killing mother-and-daughter Lin and Megan Russell in Chillenden, Kent, in 1996.

Bronson said: “I know Michael Stone. All these years he’s been in prison, not one day of it has he been on a protection wing. The reason he hasn’t been on a protection wing is he claims he’s innocent of them murders. And I believe he is.”
