Evil Ian Huntley mercilessly mocked by fellow lags as he's forced to move cells after sick victim taunts

The Sun25-07-2025
DOUBLE child killer Ian Huntley is being taunted in jail over his red Manchester United-style top being seized by warders — with fellow lags chanting: 'Huntley, Huntley, where's your shirt?'
Guards turned over the fiend's cell after we revealed that he was wearing the shirt with a No10 on the back, an apparent sick reference to his victims' ages.

Best pals Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman were wearing Man United tops in the last-known picture of them taken on the day Huntley lured them to his home and killed them.
Jail staff also took framed photos of Huntley, 51, and his ex Maxine Carr, 48, who gave him a bogus alibi after the murders in Soham, Cambs, in August, 2002.
As further punishment the killer — who is serving at least 40 years — was moved to a cell in the middle of a landing where he is more exposed to other inmates at high-security HMP Frankland, Co Durham.
A source said: 'He's no longer in a cell beside a guards' office at the end of a corridor so inmates can now shout up at his window as they pass.
'They've given him merry hell since the story, yelling, 'Huntley where's your shirt?' in football chant style.
"They're shouting insults and calling him 'sicko' and stuff. They've also mocked him about losing the Carr pictures. Huntley's livid. He's been going up the wall.
'The story's made the prison bosses realise that they have to treat him the same as everyone else and not give him special treatment.
"Other inmates think it's about time that happened and are laughing at him.'
Huntley is serving his sentence in the Category A nick alongside terrorists and killers including ex-cop Wayne Couzens and Levi Bellfield.
A Prison Service spokesman said: 'We can't comment on individuals.'

Little Boats Crackdown! Members of criminal gangs in Britain who advertise migrant Channel crossings online could face 'five years in jail'

Criminal gangs who advertise small boat crossings across the English Channel or fake passports online could spend up to five years behind bars under new legislation. Ministers are looking to create a new offence under the Border Security, Asylum and Immigration Bill already going through Parliament in an attempt to crackdown on criminal gangs promoting Channel crossings on the Internet, The Mirror reports. Under the proposed law, offenders could receive a prison sentence of up to five years and a hefty fine. Assisting illegal migration is already a crime, but officials hope the changes will give more powers to police to disrupt criminal gangs. Around 80 percent of migrants arriving to the UK by small boats say they used social media to find someone associated with a criminal gang who could smuggle them into the country. According to the Home Office, many of those who make the perilous crossings across the Channel are sold a 'false narrative' about their ability to live and work in the UK. 'Selling the false promise of a safe journey to the UK and a life in this country – whether on or offline – simply to make money, is nothing short of immoral,' Home Secretary Yvette Cooper said. 'These criminals have no issue with leading migrants to life-threatening situations using brazen tactics on social media. We are determined to do everything we can to stop them – wherever they operate.' Ministers are looking to create a new offence under the Border Security, Asylum and Immigration Bill already going through Parliament The potential new measure comes the Government announced last week that members of people-smuggling gangs who send migrants across the Channel in flimsy boars will face financial sanctions. The new powers target smugglers and those who supply them with money and equipment. Foreign Secretary David Lammy said the measures are 'the world's first sanctions regime targeted at gangs involved in people smuggling and driving irregular migration, as well as their enablers.' Those in breach of the rules can have UK assets seized, be barred from using British banks and be banned from entering Britain. The government said the new rules are authorised by existing sanctions legislation. British lawmakers won't get a chance to debate them until they return from a summer break in September. Keir Starmer has pledged to stop criminal gangs sending thousands of migrants each year on dangerous journeys across one of the world's busiest shipping lanes. A group of migrants run from the beach into the water to reach an inflatable dinghy to leave the coast of northern France in an attempt to cross the English Channel to reach Britain as tougher migration controls were announced, at the beach of Petit-Fort-Philippe in Gravelines, near Calais, France, July 17, A migrant tries to board a smuggler's inflatable dinghy in an attempt to cross the English Channel off the beach of Gravelines, northern France on July 29, 2025 The Prime Minister has said the crime gangs are a threat to global security and should be treated like terror networks. Some 37,000 people crossed the channel in 2024, and more than 22,000 so far in 2025 - an increase of about 50 percent from the same period last year. Dozens of people have died attempting the journey.

Strictly Come Dancing: BBC responds as two TV stars accused of taking cocaine

The BBC has responded after it was reported that two Strictly Come Dancing stars have been accused of taking cocaine. The broadcaster is said to have hired an external law firm to probe the drug-taking allegations, which a source said were "well-known" on the show, The Sun on Sunday reports. The claims were reportedly made on behalf of celebrity contestant Wynne Evans in a legal submission to the BBC in March. In response, a BBC spokesperson told Sky News: "We have clear protocols and policies in place for dealing with any serious complaint raised with us. We would always encourage people to speak to us if they have concerns. "It would not be appropriate for us to comment further." Sky News understands that it is not unusual for the BBC to engage an external individual to provide additional expert resource to help deliver a BBC-led investigation. In these cases, they would report to an established BBC team. The allegations published in The Sun on Sunday include a source saying that one Strictly star had told another about a third celebrity on the show: "Have you seen their pupils... they're off their face." "The BBC have known about these allegations for some time, and acknowledged receiving them. Now they are taking firm action," the source reportedly said. The two individuals accused of drug taking have not been named. It is the latest crisis to hit the BBC and Strictly. In July last year, Amanda Abbington accused Strictly dancer Giovanni Pernice of "abusive or threatening behaviour". The actress, who was paired with Pernice, withdrew from the show in 2023. The BBC upheld "some, but not all" of the allegations, with Abbington describing an apology from the corporation as a "vindication", while Pernice denied displaying "abusive or threatening behaviour". In the same month, Strictly professional dancer, Graziano Di Prima confirmed he was leaving the show amid reports of alleged misconduct. Separately, Laura Whitmore alleged "inappropriate behaviour" during her time on the show.

Manchester Arena bomber's brother 'has full prison privileges restored' just months after 'attacking guards with boiling oil and makeshift blades'

Manchester Arena bomber's brother 'has full prison privileges restored' just months after 'attacking guards with boiling oil and makeshift blades' Manchester Arena terrorist Hashem Abedi has had full prison privileges restored for 'good behaviour' - despite an alleged brutal attack on guards in April. That reportedly means that he will be able to use the gym again and spend more time outside of his cell, The Sun reported. Other perks as a result of his regime being upgraded from 'basic' to 'standard' are believed to include additional canteen credit and more cash to spend on phone calls - and even a better TV package. A source told the newspaper: 'They do that when someone behaves and it makes a huge difference to how comfortable the inmate's life is. 'He'll get Freeview TV with about 25 channels, can afford better food and won't be in his cell as much. 'Naturally he is cock-a-hoop about it but many of the officers who look after him are less than happy — especially considering what he did to their colleagues.' Abedi was ordered to serve a record 55-year minimum term for helping his brother Salman Abedi carry out a bombing at the Manchester Arena in 2017. The blast killed 22 people, many of them children, with more than 1,000 left injured. Manchester Arena bomber Hashem Abedi, 28, is accused of attacking three prison officers with cooking oil and makeshift weapons at HMP Frankland, County Durham in April HMP Frankland in Durham, where Abedi is accused of brutally attacking prison guards in April this year Abedi is seen with a smile on his face moments before the horrific alleged attack unfolded The terrorist also reportedly attacked three warders with burning cooking oil and a makeshift blade at HMP Frankland, County Durham on April 12, leaving them with what were described as 'life-threatening' injuries. Despite the severity of his original offence, Abedi was given privileges including being allowed to cook for himself in a prison kitchen. He was reportedly able to fashion two 20cm blades from a baking tray. Abedi is said to have dashed out of the kitchen just before lunchtime clutching the weapons and a pan of boiling oil which he flung at the nearest three prison officers he encountered on a landing. One male officer was then stabbed in the neck, with the blade coming close to severing an artery, reportedly leaving the victim 'just millimetres' from death. Another male officer was stabbed at least five times in the back, puncturing a lung. One of their female colleagues was also injured. The boiling oil is said to have left victims with third-degree burns. As a result of the alleged attack, Abedi was moved to HMP Belmarsh, where he has been barred from having any contact with lags under 18 due to fears he will attempt to radicalise them.

That raises the question of why Abedi's regime has been relaxed if officials still believe he is an active threat. Following the alleged attack, justice secretary Shabana Mahmood announced the use of tasers will be trialled by guards in UK prisons. She also previously said the Prison Service will investigate whether front line staff should be given protective body armour. It comes after union bosses called for officers to be given stab vests and protective equipment, arguing the incident shows 'how dangerous our job is'. The move is response to a dramatic rise in assaults on prison staff, which hit 10,605 in the year to December - a rise of 13 per cent. The Ministry of Justice declined to comment. The prisons minister has been approached for comment.
