Soham Killer Huntley's Throat Slashed In Jail

Soham murderer Ian Huntley has had his throat slashed in prison, Sky sources say.


The Ministry of Justice said he was attacked in Frankland Prison, County Durham, where he is serving two life sentences for murdering schoolgirls Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman.

Sky's crime correspondent Martin Brunt said Huntley was taken to hospital after being attacked by a fellow inmate with a home-made implement.

A Ministry spokesman said: "A prisoner at HMP Frankland was assaulted by another prisoner at about 3.25pm on Sunday March 21.

"The prisoner was taken to outside hospital for treatment. His condition is not thought to be life-threatening."

Huntley was convicted of murdering the 10-year-old girls in Soham, Cambridgeshire, in 2002.

Brunt said: "Although his injuries are not thought to be life-threatening, it does sound quite a serious attack - serious enough for him to be taken outside the prison to hospital rather than being treated by medical staff inside the prison.

"As for the weapon, it's fairly common for a plastic a toothbrush to be melted and a razor blade inserted in the end - pretty terrifying.

"It's difficult to tell if he was slashed more than once."

Today's assault is not the first time Huntley has been attacked in prison.

An inmate threw boiling water on him while he was on the health care wing at the high-security Wakefield Prison in West Yorkshire in September 2005.

HMP Frankland is a Category A high security men's prison.

The murder of the two girls sent shockwaves across the country during the summer of 2002.

Huntley, a caretaker at the secondary school in Soham, and his then girlfriend Maxine Carr, a teaching assistant in Holly and Jessica's junior school class, told police that they knew nothing of the circumstances surrounding the girls' disappearance.

But it emerged at their trial at the Old Bailey in December 2003 that Huntley had met Holly and Jessica as they walked past his home, enticed them inside and killed them before hiding their remains.

Huntley was given two life terms after being convicted of the girls' murders.

Carr was jailed after being convicted of perverting the course of justice and has now been released from prison

So, how does that news make you feel?

I'm not sure whether it's worse for him that he didn't die or not. Either way, I'm pretty glad he was attacked

[Pilko]

Hopefully the prison will admit some loony who can administer some of the sick sufferings/deaths from the Saw movies to him.

Good.The only caretaker I hate more than Joe Kinnear.

The Daily Mail and the red tops will be working themselves into a self-righteous tizzy as we speak trying to generate the most lurid headline, meanwhile Jon Venables will be breathing a sigh of relief as the papz move to Durham, and Max Clifford will be wondering how much money it will take for either Kerry Katona, Katie Price or Jade Goodey's mam to commit a murder and grab the front pages back from the homicidal maniacs!

30 years to be precise.

We had one of Durham's prison officers in our operating theatre last weekend after a horrible attack with glass by an inmate. Looks like they need to toughen up on what they let the nutters get their hands on.

As for Huntley? Unlucky.

[LucaAltieri]

I have a cousin that's spent time there.

It's not a good place to be.

[Nixon]

I've been to that prison, it looks scary as hell. As for Huntley, I feel sorry for his family who are innocent in this.

[OpenC]

Yeah, nowt better than vigilante justice.  I bet the person who was robbed/burgled/murdered/etc by the attacker feels a whole lot better that their robber/burglar/murderer/etc turned out to be a shining beacon of human goodness after all

Seriously, there's nothing good about people getting beaten up in prison by other prisoners.  Just causes problems for the staff and makes the attackers (who, lest we forget, are generally no angels themselves) feel vindicated just because someone else has done something worse.  It's bullshit, the bloke is doing his time and I hope the guy who did it to him gets a GBH charge for it.

Can you imagine if the attacker was Jon Venables? The tabloids wouldn't know what to do

That scenario sounds like something off The Day Today or Brasseye.

So, how does that news make you feel?

It makes me feel pretty f***ing angry that inmates are getting such as cushy life of it they're thinking of gaol as home and taking up DIY.  The f***ing c***s. All at the cost of the tax-payer as well.  In an election year.  I feel like I should write to my MP about this.
