Ian Huntley Has Just '5% Chance of Survival' After Head 'Split' in HMP Frankland Attack
Ian Huntley remains in serious condition after being struck with a spiked metal pole by inmate Anthony Russell, with medics giving him a 5% chance of survival.
- On Thursday, an inmate ambushed Ian Huntley in a prison workshop at HMP Frankland, striking him with a three-foot spiked metal pole and splitting his head open at 9am.
- Ian Huntley, convicted in 2002 of killing two 10-year-olds Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman, is serving a 40-year sentence and was previously attacked in custody, including scalding at HMP Wakefield in 2005.
- After the assault, prison medics raced to treat Huntley, who was left in a pool of blood, and he was induced into a coma on Friday with only a 5% chance of survival.
- He was taken to an unnamed hospital by road despite a helicopter reaching the scene, with armed officers and senior justice officials guarding the ward, and a man in his mid-40s detained at the prison.
- Cops confirmed Huntley remained in serious condition 24 hours after the attack, with Durham Constabulary saying 'There has been no change' overnight and describing his state as 'touch and go'.
