Has been attacked again. Condition touch and go apparently. Hard to believe it's been nearly quarter of a century.

Third time lucky hopefully.

This was so awful, watching that as it all unfolded will stay with me forever

Reports are that Huntly has been left blind and not expected to survive attack.

There won't be many tears shed for that brute.
I can still remember him being interviewed on tv about seeing the wee girls and that they seemed happy and fine. Cold stuff.
I reckon their families on the one hand will be glad to know he didn't have an easy time in prison, but maybe disappointed that his tough times are over. Death nearly too good for someone like that.

I wonder what ever happened to his girlfriend? I remember a while back she was released having served her time - not sure what to make of her.

Read an article yesterday about a journalist who interviewed him. Couple of things didn't seem right about what Huntly said . It was him who sussed it out

Huntly said he had taken the dog for a walk, and was washing it front of house, when he met the girls walked by. He said the girls only asked about the girlfriend (who was their teaching asst). He found it strange two little girls would see a man washing a big fluffy dog , and not mention it or ask it's name etc.

Second thing was he said was he knew how the girls would react if they came across a person who tried to kidnap them. But he wasn't at their school, didn't know the girls' character , so why would he have known this .

Journalist knew things didn't add up , and phoned the police, and he was arrested.

There was reports in loads of places around Britain and Ireland The girlfriend was being relocated. Heard Coleraine mentioned once. Surely wherever she is , she'd be recognised with a new haircut or glasses. She'd need a bit of surgery to hide in the shadows.

Saw something online yesterday that she was given a new identity after she was released from prison much like a witness protection type scenario.

I think for a female would certainly be easier to disguise yourself over the course of time.

Was a three part documentary Maxine on channel 5 a few years ago in relation to the case. Have saw a few documentaries in the past relating to the terrible crime and that reporter was very heavily involved in. (Can picture his face but cant recall name)

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/03/11/prisoner-accused-of-ian-huntley-murder-appears-in-court/At the time, Huntley lived with Maxine Carr who was a teaching assistant at Holly and Jessica's primary school.

He denied murdering the two 10-year-olds but was convicted after a trial at the Old Bailey in 2003.

Carr gave Huntley a false alibi and was jailed for 21 months for perverting the course of justice. She is now living under a new identity.

Its appropriate in my view how we all view Huntley and Carr. You'll find very few in the general public who will have much sympathy. In the next breath so many won't give a toss about America/Tump blowing up 168 kids in a school. What a rotten world we live in, any wonder I do not mix much.
