Soham

Ian Huntley, convicted of murdering 10-year-olds Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman in Soham in 2002, has died after a violent prison attack at HMP Frankland. The assault occurred on February 26, 2024, and he succumbed to his injuries in early March.

Maxine Carr, who provided a false alibi for Soham murderer Ian Huntley, was released from prison in 2004 and granted lifelong anonymity. Her case has led to mistaken identities and ongoing public scrutiny.

The property where Ian Huntley murdered Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman in Soham in August 2002 was demolished two years later to deter souvenir hunters. The house, linked to the killings, had been extensively cleaned to remove evidence.
