Ian Huntley & Maxine Carr A.K.A.: "The Soham Murderer"

Classification: Murderer
Characteristics: His reasons for committing the murders may never be known. The police believe that Huntley killed the girls in a jealous rage
Number of victims: 2+
Date of murders: August 4, 2002
Date of arrest: 13 days after
Date of birth: January 31, 1974
Victims profile: Holly Marie Wells and Jessica Aimee Chapman, both 10
Method of murder: Suffocation
Location: Soham, Cambridgeshire, England, United Kingdom
Status: Sentenced to life imprisonment on December 17, 2003. On September 29, 2005, High Court Judge Mr Justice Moses, who presided over Huntley's original trial, ruled that he should spend 40 years in prison before he can be considered for parole.

On 4 August 2002, at around 6 p.m., two 10-year-old girls, Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman, walked past Huntley's rented house in College Close. Huntley asked them to come into the house. He said that Carr was in the house as well, since she was a learning support assistant at St Andrew's Primary, the girls' school, and had got along well with them, although in fact she had gone to visit family back in Grimsby. Shortly after Holly and Jessica entered 5 College Close, Huntley murdered them.

His reasons for committing the murders may never be known, but minutes before seeing the girls Huntley had slammed the telephone down on Carr after a furious argument, as he was suspicious that she was cheating on him. The police believe that Huntley killed the girls in a jealous rage. There may have also been a sexual motive. It seems likely that either of, or possibly both of these motives drove Huntley to kill the girls. The police found no evidence of preplanning, and later said that they would have expected to find it if it was there.

Very sad story, It was a very high profile case when I was a teenager.
