Killer’s victim crawled home ‘dying’

CONVENT school head girl Kate Sheedy told her parents she thought she was going to die after being run over by bus-stop killer Levi Bellfield.

Killer’s victim crawled home ‘dying’

As she lay horrifically injured in the road, the 18-year-old told them: “I love you Daddy, I love you Mummy.”

She had to be sedated for a week in hospital where police kept a constant vigil at her bedside.

But she fought back to health to face the man who tried to kill her across an Old Bailey court room.

Now a 21-year-old history and politics student at York University, Ms Sheedy still bears the mental and physical scars of the attack.

In May 2004 she was less than two minutes from her family home in Isleworth when she was deliberately run over twice.

She had been out in Twickenham with friends celebrating her last day at Gumley House Convent School and taken the bus home.

As she was walking back from the bus stop the lights of the Toyota Previa flashed and its engine revved.

“I was thrown to the ground lying on my front. The car continued to move. It all happened very quickly. It drove straight over me.

“My head was under the car. Once the front wheel had driven over me it continued and then braked suddenly and then reversed so the wheel went back over me again.

The attack crushed her liver, punctured a lung, and tore open her lower back. It also left her with broken ribs and a broken collarbone.
