Fury as child murderer Ian Huntley is allowed to watch Soham TV documentary about his own sick crime

CHILD killer Ian Huntley shocked fellow inmates by watching a TV documentary about his own murders.

He was said to have been glued to the screen and lapped up every minute of Soham Revisited: 15 Years On.

Huntley, 43, is serving life for murdering Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman, both ten, in the Cambridgeshire town in 2002.

The 90-minute programme recounted how he killed the girls in his house then buried their bodies in a ditch near RAF Lakenheath, Suffolk.

Former school caretaker Huntley then joined the 13-day search for them.

But as soon as the Channel 5 documentary ended he was telling appalled lags at HMP Frankland, Co Durham, how much he had enjoyed it.

Even his prison pal Peter Sutcliffe, the Yorkshire Ripper, was shocked.

The 71-year-old, serving life for 13 murders, told a source: “He watched it and he said he enjoyed it. What he did to those kids was mental.”

A prison source said: “It’s quite disturbing that he would watch a programme about these awful crimes and actually enjoy it.

"But he did. It’s just weird.”

Huntley has a TV in his cell but staff have the discretion to turn it off if a show is deemed inappropriate.

David Hines, of the National Victims’ Association, said: “Prisoners shouldn’t be in contact with the outside world.

“It would shock people if they knew how much was spent on entertainment for them. It makes my blood boil.”

And Colin Fordham, 80, a councillor in Soham at the time of the murders, said: “Huntley is a monster.

"He should be being punished for what he did, not having a nice time watching telly.”

The Ministry of Justice declined to comment.
