I was familiar with Bellfields story beforehand, having read a couple of books about him. Thank goodness there are people like Colin Sutton and his team in this world. 1 Explained: What is causing the long queues at petrol stations?Loved it so much I listened to it twice. Colin Sutton was a Senior Investigating Officer in the Metropolitan Police from January 2003 to January 2011, leading more than thirty. Since I retired I have been appearing as a crime pundit on TV and radio, writing short pieces for newspapers and also, now, writing some longer stuff.Books by Colin Sutton. I’m Colin Sutton, I was a police officer for thirty years (but not one second more) and spent the last nine years of that as a Detective Chief Inspector, leading a murder squad in London.

With hindsight, they said what happened was more significant than first thought and was a “missed opportunity”.Mr Sutton said: “It’s pretty plain he could have been caught earlier.“Mistakes were made, but in the context of a small, stretched force, dealing with two other major investigations.“I’m never too hard on people, not because some were colleagues, but because we were dealing with a cunning man, who was aware of what he could do to minimise his chances of being caught.“I believe it’s accurate to describe him as evil. Had they asked me not to go through with it, I wouldn’t have.”Mr Sutton followed his father and grandfather into the police in 1981 and ended up in charge of some of the most high-profile Met cases, including 37 murders in nine years.After Bellfield’s arrest, the Met investigated about 20 other alleged offences, including sex assaults.Police believe he tried to abduct another girl three miles from where he snatched Milly Dowler a day later. Going to France to see Amelie’s parents was one of the most difficult things I’ve done.“As soon as I knew the programme might be happening, I wrote to all concerned.
