Man, who murdered two schoolgirls 19 years ago, has throat slashed in prison - Polidicks

[B]Title should say "8 years ago" instead of "19 years ago".[/B] [url=http://uk.news.yahoo.com/21/20100321/tuk-huntley-attacked-by-fellow-prisoner-6323e80.html]Source[/url] [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soham_murders]Source 2[/url] [quote]Soham murderer Ian Huntley is being treated in hospital after being assaulted by a fellow prisoner, a Ministry of Justice spokesman has said. Huntley was attacked in Frankland Prison in County Durham, where he is serving two life sentences for murdering schoolgirls Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman. Reports suggested his throat had been slashed, but his condition is not believed to be life-threatening. A spokesman for the Ministry of Justice 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 girls, who were both 10, in December 2003 after they vanished from their homes in Soham, Cambridgeshire, in August 2002. Sunday'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.[/quote] The murdered girls: [img]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/f/fc/Sohamchapmanandwells.jpg[/img] More on the murders: [quote]The Soham murders was a high profile murder case in August 2002 of two ten-year-old girls in Soham, Cambridgeshire, England. The victims were Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman. The convicted killer was a local school caretaker, Ian Huntley. Ian Kevin Huntley was born in Grimsby, Lincolnshire, on 31 January 1974, the first son of Kevin and Linda Huntley.[1] He spent two months living in the village of Hopton-on-Sea. In February 1999, Huntley (then 25) met 22-year-old Maxine Carr at Hollywood's nightclub in Grimsby town centre.[2] She later moved in with him at his flat in Barton-upon-Humber, a small town on the southern banks of the River Humber. Carr found a job packing fish at the local fish processing factory while Huntley worked as a barman. He also travelled to Cambridgeshire on his days off to help his father who was now working as a school caretaker in the village of Littleport near Ely. He enjoyed the work so much that in September 2001 he applied for the position of caretaker at Soham Village College, a secondary school in a small town between Cambridge and Ely. The job had become vacant after the previous caretaker was dismissed for having an inappropriate relationship with a female pupil. Huntley was accepted for the post of caretaker at Soham Village College and began work on 26 November 2001. Shortly before the murders on 4 August 2002 at around 18:15, Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman had attended a barbecue at Holly's family home. They then went out to buy some sweets. On their way back they walked past Huntley's rented house in College Close. Huntley asked them to come into the house. He said that Carr, his girlfriend, was in the house as well, although in fact she had gone to visit family back in Grimsby. Shortly after Holly and Jessica entered 5 College Close, Huntley murdered them. Huntley's reasons for committing the murders may never be known, but minutes before seeing the girls, Huntley had slammed the telephone down on Carr, after a furious argument. Huntley had allegedly suspected Carr of cheating on him. The police suspected that Huntley killed the girls in a fit of jealous rage. There may have also been a sexual motive. It seems likely that either, or possibly both, of these motives drove Huntley to kill the girls - the police found no evidence of pre-meditation. When the girls first went missing, the police released photographs of the two girls in Manchester United replica shirts along with a physical description of each of them which described them as "white, about 4ft 6in tall and slim".[3] The search for the girls was one of the most highly publicised missing person searches in British history and Huntley even appeared on Sky News and the BBC's Look East regional news programme speaking of the shock of the local community. Their bodies were found near the perimeter fence of RAF Lakenheath in Suffolk, on 17 August 2002. Just twelve hours later, their clothing was discovered in the grounds of Soham Village College and Huntley was arrested. The girls had been missing for 13 days when their bodies were found, with police stating that both corpses were "severely decomposed and partially skeletonised" - Huntley had set them alight in a bid to destroy the forensic evidence. Huntley was later charged with two counts of murder and detained under Section 48 of the Mental Health Act 1983, at Rampton Hospital, before a judge decided that he was fit to stand trial on 8 October 2002. He was subsequently moved to Woodhill Prison at Milton Keynes, where he attempted suicide on 9 June 2003 by taking 29 anti-depressants which he had stashed away in his cell. There were fears that Huntley could die as a result of the overdose, but within 48 hours he was back in prison and was later transferred to Belmarsh Prison. When the girls were first reported missing, Huntley was not the police's prime suspect, as on the same day that the two girls were reported as missing, the body of another man was found on a nearby railway line - he was believed to have committed suicide. However, it was later discovered that this was simply a coincidence, and that the dead man, whose name was never confirmed, was ruled out of the police inquiry when it was established that he had died the day before the girls went missing.[/quote]

He deserves it. Even in prison, theres morals and codes. No one likes child molesters or people who kill kids, even if they murdered 13 people themselves.

Can't say i'm sorry, he deserved it.

it looks like [i]his throat got slashed by a prisoner[/i] [highlight](User was banned for this post ("Not a pun" - TH89))[/highlight]

He had his throat slashed? That's sharp.

Good, I hope he can't eat any more.

2003? 19 years ago?

[QUOTE=johanz;20881061]2003? 19 years ago?[/QUOTE] what?

eh the description of that murder seems entirely shaky, I mean, killing two random children in a fit of jealous rage? who the fuck does that? Unless this guy is a documented sociopath, I don't know about the charge against him (anti-depressants =/= sociopath) it's a horrible crime but unless there's some supreme evidence that he did it (why not question the previous caretaker who had an "innapropriate relationship" with the girl?) I would've had more than enough doubt to warrant acquittal the only "evidence" against him seems entirely circumstantial - that the clothes were dumped at his workplace, and that he was just in a call with his girlfriend no dna evidence? in fucking 2000 era? c'mon

Karma kills.

[QUOTE=johanz;20881061]2003? 19 years ago?[/QUOTE] Thats when he was found guilty. He murdered them years before that.

[QUOTE=the_shape;20881193]Looks like his life was cut short.[/QUOTE] He didn't die.

[quote]where he is serving [b]two life sentences[/b][/quote] What?

[QUOTE=attackyourself!;20881444]What?[/QUOTE] People can serve multiple life sentences in prison. This is in place because if, by some miracle, a person were to live longer than a regular life span of ~80-100 years.

I remember when this was on the news.

[QUOTE=attackyourself!;20881444]What?[/QUOTE] They sentence people to like 10 sometimes. Acording to the internet;In the event they lose one on appeal, they still remain in jail for life.

fucking hell 8 years? it really been 8 years? jesus other then that the cunt got was coming to him

[QUOTE=attackyourself!;20881444]What?[/QUOTE] He got a life sentence for 2 victims, ergo 2 life sentences. It's just a fancy way of saying: "You're never gonna get out you son-of-a-bitch. [sp]Not like in The Shawshank Redemption where Andy got 2 sentences and actually got out.[/sp]

Ahhh Ian Huntley I remember him! No matter what he did, he doesn't deserve being murdered. He's doing his sentence, and him dieing won't bring the girls back. Shame though, bout the whole thing.

Same thing should happen to the killers of James Bulger

What a sick bastard. Can't say he didn't deserve it.

Good, now he can't live on taxpayer money in prisons. Wish more people in prison got killed. [editline]09:38PM[/editline] Wait, not life threatening? Kill the guy, and then kill the guy who botched the killing.

Uhhh how can you have 2 life sentances?

[B][B]:siren:[/B][/B][B] You get 2 or more life sentences for two reasons: to show you've done something [I]really [/I]naughty, and to make sure you never get out if some superlawyer makes you lose the first[/B] personally, I think he deserves it.

Vodafone sponsors them.

[QUOTE=The Spocker;20881489]People can serve multiple life sentences in prison.
