"Former caretaker Huntley killed 10-year-olds Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman after they left a family barbecue to buy sweets in Soham, Cambridgeshire, on August 4 2002, then dumped their bodies in a ditch. He is serving a life sentence with a recommendation that he serves at least 40 years for the murders."
"Thursday's assault was the latest attempt on Huntley's life and he was thought to have been kept under close observation to prevent similar attacks. In 2010, robber Damien Fowkes slashed Huntley with a home-made weapon, causing a severe, gaping cut to the left side."
