Double child killer Ian Huntley died on March 7 after being bludgeoned to death with a 'spiked metal pole' in a prison workshop. He was 52.
The Soham murderer had been serving life in prison for murdering ten-year-old schoolgirls Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman in his home in Cambridgeshire in 2002.
Huntley, 52, was transported to hospital after being targeted in a behind-bars ambush on his prison wing, which saw him hit with the metal weapon and 'ripped apart like a rat', according to a woman who visited the prison previously. He was left with catastrophic skull injuries and passed away in hospital on March 7, 2026.
