Back in 2002, Maxine Carr became one of the UK’s most-reviled women when she was found guilty of perverting the course of justice in a case that sent shock waves around the nation.

The double murder of 10-year-old schoolgirls Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman, whose bodies were found 13 days after they went missing from Soham, Cambridgeshire, was committed by Carr’s boyfriend Ian Huntley, a caretaker at a local school.
