Notorious child killer Ian Huntley<\/a> has sparked a fresh wave of controversy after he was documented wearing a No10 Manchester United<\/a>-style shirt, in a sick nod towards his ten year old victims Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman.<\/a><\/p>\n

The youngsters, who were keen football fans, were both wearing United tops when they were murdered by school caretaker Huntley<\/a> back in August 2002.<\/p>\n

However, despite the twisted nod towards his victims, Huntley continued to show little remorse while serving a life sentence at HMP Frankland, Durham, with a source revealing that he had been<\/p>\n

\u201cstrutting around in it\u201d as if it were some kind of joke.<\/p>\n

Branding the move \u201cvile\u201d the source told The Sun,<\/a> \u201cHe\u2019s been seen strutting about in the shirt as if it\u2019s funny. It is vile.\u201d<\/p>\n

He was also reportedly dubbed a \u201csick b*****d\u201d by inmates for his questionable choice of attire, and even went so far as to respond with a \u201cthumbs up\u201d gesture.<\/p>\n

Huntley was sentenced to at least 40 years behind bars in 2003, with the killer currently serving two life sentences at HMP Frankland.<\/p>\n

According to sources Huntley has been \u201cstrutting about\u201d in the plain red shirt, which is adorned with No10 on the back, after he ordered the item from Sports Direct.<\/p>\n

Under current prison rules, inmates are barred from wearing any licensed replica shirts in order to minimise conflict among them. However, this hasn\u2019t stopped Huntley from throwing together his own unofficial one, which clearly resembles that of his victims.<\/p>\n

\u201cHuntley has made it as close to a Man U top as he can \u2014 and it is sick.It is vile that it has a huge white number 10 on the back,\u201d the source continued.<\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone thinks he is doing it to satisfy his own sick mind, rather than for football reasons.\u201d<\/p>\n

Describing how the new addition to Huntley\u2019s wardrobe has rapidly become a staple, the source went on to reveal that he was often seen wearing it when walking to the gym or health appointments.<\/p>\n

One inmate is also alleged to have complained about the garment back in May, however even despite strong condemnation, Huntley has continued to wear the shirt, even when prison officers themselves have reportedly found it to be in poor taste.<\/p>\n

Describing staff as \u201cpowerless\u201d to stop him, the source shared their frustration at the situation, as they explained how Huntley hadn\u2019t technically broken any rules by wearing an unofficial shirt, meaning prison officials would be unable to punish him for his garment choice.<\/p>\n

In recent days, the situation has also been brought to the attention of mainstream politics, with Tory<\/a> Shadow Justice Secretary Robert Jenrick<\/a> having openly slammed the shirt, and called on prison officials to intervene.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis disgusting murderer shouldn\u2019t be swanning around jail in a shirt designed to insult the memory of Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman,\u201d began Jenrick.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt should be ripped off his back by prison officers.The family of those two poor girls are entitled to know that Huntley isn\u2019t getting any special treatment in jail, and that his life is as miserable as it can be made to be.\u201d<\/p>\n

Holly Wells and Jessica Mills were tragically killed in August 2002 when the two friends had left a family barbecue to buy some sweets. While on their trip to the shop, they stopped outside the home Huntley shared with his girlfriend Maxine Carr, their teaching assistant.<\/p>\n

It was then that Huntley lured the two girls inside and murdered them, before dumping their bodies. The girls\u2019 remains were found 13 days later, six miles away from Soham after being dumped in a ditch near RAF Lakenheath, Suffolk.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Notorious child killer Ian Huntley has sparked a fresh wave of controversy after he was documented wearing a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":274380,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,4],"tags":[188,103828,103827,103723,103829,1619,12,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-274379","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-uk","8":"category-united-kingdom","9":"tag-crime","10":"tag-hmp-frankland","11":"tag-holly-wells-and-jessica-chapman","12":"tag-ian-huntley","13":"tag-manchester-united-shirt-controversy","14":"tag-murder","15":"tag-news","16":"tag-uk","17":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114879222501850470","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/274379","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=274379"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/274379\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/274380"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=274379"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=274379"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=274379"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
