Milly Dowler: Reaction to Bellfield sentencing

The family of murdered 13-year-old Milly Dowler have said they paid "too high a price" for the conviction of Levi Bellfield.

Bellfield was given a whole-life tariff for murdering Milly in Surrey in 2002.

Milly's family, mother Sally, sister Gemma and father Bob spoke outside court of their "harrowing ordeal", while DCI Maria Woodall of Surrey Police and the Crown Prosecution Service's Nigel Pilkington gave their reaction to the case.

Sophie Hutchinson explains what happened.
