'Relief' for daughter of child killer
Daily Post
|March 09, 2026
SOHAM killer Ian Huntley's daughter has said she felt “relieved” when she was told his life support was turned off - and she thinks his ashes should be flushed down the toilet.
-
The 52-year-old former school caretaker died in hospital on Saturday after being attacked in the workshop of HMP Frankland, in County Durham, on February 26. Huntley, who murdered two 10-year-old schoolgirls from the Cambridgeshire town of Soham, Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman, in 2002, had been on life support in hospital after being hit repeatedly over the head by an inmate armed with a metal bar last month.
Samantha Bryan, 27, told The Sun On Sunday: “We should flush his ashes down the toilet.”
His life support was switched off at lunchtime on Friday after brain tests showed he was in a vegetative state, The Sun reported, and he was confirmed dead on Saturday. Murderer and rapist Anthony Russell, 43, reportedly attacked Huntley.
