Harry Styles is set to be the backing track for the wedding of one of Britain’s most notorious serial killers.

Murderer Levi Bellfield controversially won a legal battle this week to marry a woman in her 40s who regularly visits him in prison.

The 55-year-old monster is serving two whole life sentences for the murder of schoolgirl Milly Dowler and two other young women.

He applied to tie the knot with his besotted lover last year and was reportedly granted as much as £30,000 in legal aid to challenge Frankland Prison’s decision to block it.

But prison bosses had to concede that there are no current laws stopping Bellfield from getting married, despite the ‘pain and anger’ it will cause his victims’ families.

And now he wants the hit tune Watermelon Sugar by former One Direction star Harry played at the behind-bars ceremony. 

‘It makes you sick,’ a source told The Sun.

They said: ‘Other cons all took the mickey out of him when he bought the Harry Styles album with the song on it – and now he’s telling everyone it’s his and his fiancée’s song.’

Bellfield is said to be delighted after he received a letter informing him that he was allowed to get married and have the day off from his job at the jail recycling centre. 

His bride-to-be will reportedly wear a white dress and Bellfield will don a Versace suit at the altar in the prison chapel. 

They will each be entitled to invite three to four guests, who will only be allowed entry after strict security vetting. 

After they say ‘I do’, Bellfield and his new wife will have two hours together but will be watched by guards at all times.

Prisoners in the UK also do not have conjugal rights. 

In 2011, Bellfiled was convicted of the murder of 13-year-old Milly Dowler who was killed in 2002.

Three years before, he was found guilty of murdering Marsha McDonnell, 19, and Amelie Delagrange, 22, in 2003, as well as the attempted murder of Kate Sheedy, 18, in 2004. 

Addressing the decision to allow the wedding to go ahead, the Ministry of Justice said there are ‘no legal routes to block this marriage’.

A spokesman said: ‘We recognise the pain and anger this outcome will bring to his victims’ families.

‘It is what has driven our plans to stop prisoners on whole life orders from marrying in prison through our new Victims and Prisoners Bill – ensuring this never happens again.’

As well as blocking the release of dangerous prisoners, the government has been trying to ban criminals serving whole life orders from marrying behind bars as part of plans to overhaul the parole system.

This week, a man was charged with the murder of three people in Nottingham and has been remanded in custody.
