Bid to stop ghouls looking for evidence. Killer's claim sparks changes at beauty spot

STEPS have been taken to stop ghouls doing their own search of a nature reserve where Levi Bellfield claims to have dumped the body of a missing student, sources say.

Access codes for the site have been changed after serial killer Bellfield confessed to murdering Elizabeth Chau in 1999 and burying her body there.

Thames Water, which owns the reserve, has stopped applications for new membership and has blocked existing members from taking non-members on the site.

Insiders say the measures at Kempton Nature Reserve in Surrey are in place to deter people from nosing around and trampling the area.

A source told the Mirror: "Every effort is being made to protect the site even if they're not currently searching it. The last thing they need is people going there to start poking around."
