Ian Huntley’s prison cell attacker allegedly yelled “I’ve done it, I’ve done it, I’ve killed him, I’ve killed him”, after launching a brutal attack.
Huntley, 52, was left in a pool of his own blood with his head split in two after the ambush just around 9am today (February 26) at HMP Frankland, County Durham. The notorious sicko is currently serving a life sentence after being found guilty of murdering two 10 year old girls, Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman, who vanished from a family barbecue in Soham, Cambridgeshire, in August 2002.
Durham Constabulary confirmed that a prisoner was assaulted on Thursday morning at HMP Frankland in County Durham before being transported to hospital.
It is suspected that Anthony Russell was the one who launched the assault, with fellow prisoners celebrating as he was led away in handcuffs.
A spokesperson for the force stated: “Police were alerted to an assault which had taken place within HMP Frankland in Durham this morning.
“A male prisoner suffered serious injuries during the incident and was transported to hospital.
“A police investigation is now under way into the circumstances of the incident and detectives are liaising with staff at the prison.”
They later added:”The 52-year-old prisoner who was injured during this morning’s assault in the workshop at HMP Frankland remains in a serious condition in hospital following treatment for head injuries.
“Police forensic teams have examined the scene of the attack throughout the day to gather evidence.
“A suspect, a male prisoner in his mid-40s, has been identified by officers investigating the incident. He has not been arrested at this stage but remains in detention within the prison.”
A woman visiting a lag at the jail said of Huntley: “He’s in a bad, bad way. I shouldn’t say it, but it’s what he deserves.”
The horrifying assault took place just after 9am at a recycling workshop.
Russell, aged 43, is reported to have had a short dispute with Huntley before initiating the attack.
He struck Huntley around the head at least six times with the pole. A source revealed that the makeshift weapon was equipped with a spike at its end.
