Nice one. Is he dead?

Nice one TC

Gonna go in and get the gen...

This one definately should have hung.

The Ministry of Justice said he was attacked in Frankland Prison, County Durham, where he is serving two life sentences for murdering schoolgirls Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman.

Sky's crime correspondent Martin Brunt said Huntley was taken to hospital after being attacked by a fellow inmate with a home-made implement.

A Ministry spokesman said: "A prisoner at HMP Frankland was assaulted by another prisoner at about 3.25pm on Sunday March 21.

The prisoner was taken to outside hospital for treatment. His condition is not thought to be life-threatening."

Huntley was convicted of murdering the 10-year-old girls in Soham, Cambridgeshire, in 2002.

Brunt said: "Although his injuries are not thought to be life-threatening, it does sound quite a serious attack - serious enough for him to be taken outside the prison to hospital rather than being treated by medical staff inside the prison.

"No details of the weapon, but it's common for a plastic a toothbrush to be melted and a razor blade inserted in the end - it makes a pretty terrifying weapon.

Thanks for that. Ill watch sky news in a bit- plus is watching snatch. Shame its not serious.

This fu***r should have been released without charge and his address published under the freedom of information act. Then justice would have been served. Along with Venables and Thompson, and Brady and Hindley, the Yorkshire Ripper, etc.

Cant say I have any sympathy for the bloke!

Just sorry they didn't make a better job of it.
