A man serving life for murdering Lin and Megan Russell in 1996 hopes a new confession to the crime by Milly Dowler killer Levi Bellfield will help free him.
Michael Stone, 62, says Bellfield’s statement, which follows one he later retracted, contains information about the 1996 hammer attack which only the killer would know.
It is the first time Bellfield has signed a written confession claiming responsibility for the killings of Lin and daughter Megan, which shocked the nation 27 years ago.
