A source said: 'Levi put the word about they should not touch Couzens or bully him'
Hulking ex-bouncer Bellfield, 53, is said to have “felt sorry” for the 48-year-old — who abducted, raped and killed Sarah Everard, 33 — as he is small at 5ft 9in.
A source said: “Levi put the word about they should not touch Couzens or bully him.
"Not a lot of people mess with Levi. He told others they were all inside for serious crimes so should not judge. It is a bizarre situation.
“He is the last person you would expect to be protecting a former police officer.”
Married dad-of-two Couzens, who received a whole-life tariff in October, is on the same wing as Bellfield and also has extra protection from guards after being targeted.
Bellfield, whose victims included schoolgirl Milly Dowler in 2002, has two whole-life orders.
