Soham murderer Ian Huntley dies after prison attack | BBC News


Ian Huntley, the former school caretaker who murdered two 10-year-old schoolgirls in Soham has died following an attack in prison.

The 52-year-old suffered significant head trauma after being attacked with a makeshift weapon by another inmate at HMP Frankland on 26 February and had been on life support in hospital.

He had been serving a life sentence with a minimum term of 40 years for murdering best friends Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman in 2002.

The UK Ministry of Justice said Huntley’s crime "remains one of the most shocking and devastating cases in our nation’s history, and our thoughts are with their families".

Huntley’s life support was switched off on Friday.
