Ian Huntley, the notorious convicted murderer whose horrific killings of two young schoolgirls in the UK sparked national outrage, has died at the age of 49 after being assaulted in prison. Huntley, serving a life sentence for the 2002 murders of Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman, was attacked by another inmate at HMP Frankland in County Durham on Sunday morning.
The brutal assault left Huntley with serious injuries, and he was rushed to a nearby hospital where he was later pronounced dead.

Huntley, who worked as a caretaker at the girls' school, was eventually arrested and charged with their murders.
