The convictions of Michael Stone, serving three life sentences for the brutal murders of Lin Russell and her daughter Megan in 1996, are set to undergo another review by the Criminal Cases Review Commission (CCRC). This decision comes three months after a prior review dismissed the case from being sent to the Court of Appeal.
The CCRC’s latest decision follows reports of a confession by serial killer Levi Bellfield, known for his heinous crimes, including the murder of schoolgirl Milly Dowler. Bellfield’s alleged confession to the Russell murders has prompted a fresh examination of the evidence surrounding Stone’s convictions.
