The child killer Ian Huntley has died after being attacked
by a fellow prison inmate. He received catastrophic head injuries last Thursday
week and was rushed to hospital, but did not regain consciousness. This is not
the first time he has been assaulted, and this attention is to be expected
considering the nature of his crime. This is despite the fact that the suspect
is Anthony Russell, somebody who is equally vicious. He murdered his girlfriend
and her son, plus another man. The prison, HMP Frankland, is where many of the country's
most serious criminals are incarcerated; hence its nickname "monster
mansion". Another is the maniac cop Wayne Couzens, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2024/03/sarah-everard-killer-revelation.html.
Thomas Mair, the alleged killer of Jo Cox MP is also supposedly there, but this
is doubtful, see: https://hpanwo-radio.blogspot.com/2016/12/programme-214-podcast-trial-of-thomas.html.
Ian Huntley was convicted of murdering Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman, two ten year old girls who were pupils at the
school where he worked as a caretaker. Source: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c80jmm00379o.
A few years after this unspeakable incident I was
interviewed on the Richplanet Starship with Richard D Hall in which I raised
the possibility that Ian Huntley was a patsy who had been framed. My reason for
this was because I had heard that there was another suspect whom the police had
overlooked. He was a serviceman in the US Air Force and was stationed at the
nearby American garrison at RAF Lakenheath. The girls' bodies were found just
outside the base. A few years after Holly and Jessica's death he was convicted
of killing a young girl on Okinawa , a Japanese island
where he was stationed afterwards. Why was he not a suspect in the Soham case?
Richard and I suspected that this was because of political inconvenience. At
the time the Prime Minister Tony Blair was desperately trying to get Britain
involved in the Iraq invasion and if it were revealed to the public that a US
serviceman had killed two young British girls on British soil that might turn
public opinion against the UK American military alliance in the War on Terror.
For this reason Huntley was set up. He had the right profile; a low IQ man with
a previous conviction for comparatively minor offences against children.

Interestingly Huntley's girlfriend Maxine Carr was an assistant teacher at the
same school and was convicted of aiding and abetting him. She was released from
jail under a false identity. This is possibly what also happened to Jo Cox and
many others, see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZimqkgMJ40
and: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6HiZ4m1_P4o.
Another suspicious element was that the original leader of the investigation, Acting
Detective Superintendent David Beck, was replaced with another officer after
ten days, Detective Chief Superintendent Chris Stevenson. Was this because the
new chief was assigned to cement the cover story while Beck was not? The
problem is that I don't remember where I first heard the information about the
USAF serviceman and I've just tried to verify it and can't. There is no record
of such a person ever existing. According to history, US troops have committed such
crimes on Okinawa , but none since the occupation in
1945. Do any readers have any information on this matter? If you don't then
I'll have to do something I really dislike, admit I was wrong! If this is the
case then there is no further reason I can think of to doubt Ian Huntley's
guilt; and so therefore I will join nearly all other people in refusing to
mourn his death.

ReplyDeleteThere are also graphic witness accounts published in the media of his violent sexual behaviour in Grimsby when he himself was in his mid-teens. These were unreported to the police presumably because a lack of consent would have been harder to demonstrate and his age would have made him less amenable to prosecution.
I wouldn't describe Ian Huntley's earlier offences as "minor" and I'm not entirely sure about his "low IQ". I understand the importance of distinguishing between convictions and allegations but I think in his case the CPS and Humberside Police failed to protect the population of North East Lincolnshire from someone who should have been identified as a paedophile with a propensity for sexual violence and manipulative, controlling behaviour. It seems he was also skilled in manipulating and deceiving the "system" into thinking he was just a bit of a promiscuous lad who liked it a bit on the rough side with girls who were a bit too young. In an ideal world he would have been convicted of one of the lesser alleged offences, jailed and barred from working in schools.
I can't help you with information about the USAF airman since you don't mention his name on the Richplanet broadcast. I would add the US military and intelligence personnel stationed in the UK should not have diplomatic immunity and should be held fully accountable under the law which they are not. You probably remember the case of Harry Dunn and Anne Sacoolas.

If you re-read the article you'll see I didn't say "minor", I said "comparatively minor"; and they are compared to all-out murder. But you raise an interesting question because Huntley obviously did not have a DBS check. I had to have something similar back in 1989 when I started as a HP. Any job in a school should have been totally off-limits to him.
DeleteI remember the Harry Dunn case well. His poor mother literally camped outside the White House hoping Trump would talk to her face-to-face. I doubt if such immunity would stretch to a double murder mind you. It certainly doesn't count for Jamal Kashoggi.
The whole point of the article is that Huntley did in fact have a DBS check (or CRB check as it was at the time). He passed the check because at the time he had no criminal convictions on file and the check was only mandated to flag actual convictions. The trial judge highlighted poor communication between police, social services, schools and the CPS as reasons for him slipping through the net. It was one of the cases which catalysed the transition to a unified reporting system (the DBS) for all these agencies.
ReplyDeleteWell I suppose that was necessary. If I had a child at that school I'd be bothered. In my own sad experience I've found that dangerous predators are often not obvious to see. The man who abused me was a "pillar of the community".
