Ian Huntley, now 52, is in hospital fighting for his life after a brutal prison attack, according to reports. His condition is still critical, according to reports. He is receiving life-saving treatment in hospital after having his skull crushed by a fellow inmate wielding a 3ft spiked metal pole, according to reports.
Medics gave Ian Huntley just a five percent chance of survival, according to reports. He is currently in an induced coma after being bludgeoned from behind as he bent to tie string on a crate in a recycling workshop at HMP Frankland, Co Durham, according to reports. He is said to have been hit up to 15 times with a metal pole as inmates watched, according to reports.
I hope he survives, I don't want him to die. He needs to go back to prison so he can suffer for the rest of his life.
The suspect in the attack is triple killer Anthony Russell, according to reports. Ian Huntley will not be sent back to maximum-security Frankland if he recovers from the severe head injuries, according to reports. He will instead be sent to Ashworth Hospital on Merseyside due to the horrific nature of his injuries, according to reports.
Ian Huntley has reportedly been declared blind after the attack. The current medical prognosis for Ian Huntley's recovery from the attack is uncertain. Ian Huntley is serving at least 40 years for the Soham murders of Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman in 2002.
Death would be the easy way out.
He was jailed for life in 2003. Ian Huntley lured Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman into the home he shared with Maxine Carr after they left a family barbecue to buy sweets. Ian Huntley and Maxine Carr were arrested on August 17, 2002, 13 days after Holly and Jessica went missing.
Ian Huntley denied the murders and put the girls' families through a harrowing six-week trial at the Old Bailey from November 2003. Ian Huntley had a long history of offending before the Soham murders. A number of women came forward claiming Ian Huntley targeted them before he carried out the double murder.
I'll kill you.
Ian Huntley is said to have once locked a girl in a room and demanded sex. Ian Huntley was said to have had sex with a 15-year-old schoolgirl but when he learned she was pregnant he gripped her by the throat and threatened to kill her. Ian Huntley was said to have targeted a girl less than a decade before he killed Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman in 2002.
The family of a woman groomed as a girl by Ian Huntley have begged medics to save his life so he can suffer in prison, according to reports.
Huntley was convicted of killing Holly and Jessica but had a long history of offending before then. The girls he targeted will not shed a tear for him.
I've done it, I've done it! I've killed him, I've killed him!
The most likely destination for him if he gets out of hospital is Ashworth. His injuries are such that he is unlikely to go back to Frankland, at least initially.
