The BBC reports that Soham murderer Ian Huntley is very close to death after doctors removed him from life support following a prison attack.
Another inmate attacked 52-year-old HMP Frankland prisoner Ian Huntley on February 26, and prison staff admitted him to the hospital. This prison has one of the highest security classifications in the United Kingdom. Ian Huntley struck on head with a weapon made inside prison cell report says. Prison sources say officers found Deon Khositashvili lying in a pool of blood with severe head injuries.
Ian Huntley killed two schoolgirls, Jessica Chapman and Holly Wells, in Soham in 2002. The crime shocked people across the country. At the time of the murders, Huntley worked as a school caretaker in the small Cambridgeshire town of Soham. Holly and Jessica went to a barbecue at a friend’s house in August 2002. Police believe the girls were on their way to buy sweets when 28-year-old Ian Huntley tricked them into going to his house, where he killed them.
The BBC reports that another prisoner, 43-year-old triple killer Anthony Russell, attacked Ian Huntley. People who work in the prison say that Ian Huntley was on life support in the hospital. It was turned off on Friday.
This is not the time Ian Huntley has been attacked in prison. In 2010 someone cut his throat at HMP Frankland. He needed 21 stitches. Before that in 2005 another prisoner at HMP Wakefield threw boiling water over Ian Huntley.
People often call HMP Frankland “Monster Mansion” because it houses some of the country’s most violent prisoners, including murderers and rapists.
One of the crimes in the history of Britain is the murder of Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman. The photo of the girls taken just before the disappearance, showing them smiling and wearing the red Manchester United football shirts, is a very popular photo from the time when everyone was trying to find these girls.
400 police officers worked full-time to find out what happened to the girls and many volunteers helped with the search. Police found the girls’ bodies in a ditch in Suffolk two weeks after they went missing.
Police arrested Ian Huntley on the same day. The court later found him guilty of the crime. The judge sentenced Ian Huntley to at least 40 years in prison. The judge stated that the lies and tricks used by Ian Huntley had increased the suffering of the girls’ families.
“In 2003, the court sent Maxine Carr, Ian Huntley’s girlfriend at the time, to prison for helping him by giving a false alibi.” She is now a free woman. Read More
