Prison Attack on Soham Killer
The Daily Star, Friday, February 27, 2026, prominently features Soham murderer Ian Huntley, "clinging to life" after a "frenzied" prison attack. The front page displays a large image of Huntley, contrasted with a smaller, poignant picture of his young victims, Jessica Chapman and Holly Wells. Battered unconscious with a pole, Huntley was airlifted to hospital; this marks his fourth prison attack. Inside the paper, the Daily Star's role in disproving his alibi is recalled.
