Family of woman Levi Bellfield claims to have murdered say Met failed them

Exclusive: Family of Elizabeth Chau accuse police of failing to take case seriously because of their race

The family of a 19-year-old woman whom the serial killer Levi Bellfield claims to have murdered two decades ago have accused the Metropolitan police of failing to take the case seriously because of their race and the alleged victim’s gender.

Bellfield has made a signed and written confession to the kidnap, rape, assault and murder of the university student Elizabeth Chau, who disappeared from a west London street in 1999, his solicitor confirmed.
