Soham Child Killer Ian Huntley Airlifted to Hospital Following Brutal Prison Assault
Ian Huntley, the notorious child murderer convicted for the killings of Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman in Soham, was airlifted to hospital in a critical condition after a violent attack by another inmate at HMP Frankland in County Durham.
Details of the Incident
The assault occurred at approximately 9am, with Huntley discovered lying in a pool of blood on his prison wing. Sources described the scene as "absolute chaos", noting that Huntley was in a terrible state following the incident. Reports indicate his condition is "touch and go", suggesting a life-threatening situation.
A source commented on the security breach, stating, "I'm amazed someone was able to get anywhere near him because he is usually really closely protected. They must have timed it when he wasn't with prison officers and must have used a weapon to injure him so severely."
Background on Ian Huntley
Ian Huntley, aged 52, is serving a life sentence for the murders of 10-year-old Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman in Soham, Cambridgeshire, in 2002. The girls knew Huntley as he worked as their school caretaker at the time of the crimes.
