A woman has hit out at police after learning from a news outlet that serial killer Levi Bellfield had reportedly confessed to attacking her with a hammer almost 20 years ago.
Sarah Spurrell, 44, accused Sussex police of treating her as a “complete and utter joke” after the vicious assault in January 2004. She said that she only found out about Bellfield’s confession, allegedly made earlier this year, when she was told this month by ITV News London.
The then 23-year-old medical technician was hit three times over the back of the head in a dark street in the seaside town of Hastings, East Sussex, the Mirror reports.
