Ian Huntley has '5% chance of survival' as killer's 'head split in two’ after attack
Soham killer Ian Huntley remains in a serious condition after he was attacked by a fellow inmate during a prison workshop at HMP Frankland yesterday morning (February 26)
Soham killer Ian Huntley reportedly has "only a 5% chance of survival" after he was allegedly attacked with a metal bar by a fellow inmate. Police said earlier that the 52-year-old remained in a serious condition in hospital 24 hours after he was attacked in the workshop of a maximum security jail.
According to reports, triple killer Anthony Russell allegedly shouted “I’ve done it, I’ve done it” after Huntley was repeatedly smashed over the head with a spiked metal bar at HMP Frankland, Durham, on Thursday morning.
Now a source to the Sun has spoken of how medical teams worked to save his life after he "clung on".
Speaking to The Sun, they said: “It is miraculous he is still alive. Medics have worked miracles on him and he has clung on. The prison nurses and staff who first saw him thought he was gone.
“And medics said there was only a 5% chance of survival after an attack like that. It is still touch and go, and he could get worse. But it is extraordinary that he is still alive. When it first happened, he was totally unresponsive and could not breathe.”
Former caretaker Huntley killed 10-year-olds Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman after they left a family barbecue to buy sweets in Soham, Cambridgeshire, on August 4 2002, then dumped their bodies in a ditch.
According to reports, triple killer Anthony Russell allegedly shouted “I’ve done it, I’ve done it” after Huntley, 52, was repeatedly smashed over the head at HMP Frankland, Durham, on Thursday morning.
The force declined to identify the suspect but said on Thursday that a man in his mid-40s had been detained in the prison, but had not yet been arrested.
Russell was sentenced to a whole life tariff in 2021 for the murders of Julie Williams, 58, and her son David Williams, 32, at separate flats in Coventry, and pregnant 31-year-old Nicole McGregor, who was found in woodland near Leamington Spa three days later.
Russell also raped Ms McGregor.
On Friday, Durham Constabulary said: “There has been no change in the 52-year-old man’s condition overnight – he remains in hospital in a serious condition.”
The force declined to identify the suspect but on Thursday it said a man in his mid-40s had been detained in the prison, but he had not yet been arrested.
