Ian Huntley, who murdered two 10-year-old girls in the English village of Soham in 2002, has died after being attacked by a fellow inmate at HMP Frankland (a maximum-security prison in Durham, northern England). An inquest heard that Huntley, 52, was struck multiple times over the head with a metal bar in a prison workshop on 26 February, and died at a Newcastle hospital on 7 March; a postmortem gave the provisional cause of death as "blunt head injury." Anthony Russell, 43, has been charged with murder and is due to appear in court on 24 April, while the case has renewed attention on Huntley's original crimes — the abduction and killing of best friends Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman, whose disappearance in August 2002 became one of Britain's most high-profile murder investigations.
