Ian Huntley Assaulted in Prison
Durham Constabulary reported that a prisoner was assaulted at the prison and subsequently transported to a hospital for treatment. A police investigation into the circumstances of the incident is underway, with detectives working alongside prison staff.
The Prison Service confirmed a prisoner is receiving treatment following the incident but stated it would be inappropriate to comment further while the police investigate.
According to The Sun, Huntley was attacked with a metal pole, and a source indicated his condition is “touch and go.”
Huntley is currently serving a life sentence for the murders of 10-year-olds Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman. The girls were killed after leaving a family barbecue to buy sweets in Soham, Cambridgeshire, on August 4, 2002, and their bodies were later found in a ditch.
