Soham killer jailed for 40 years

[Luna]

Soham murderer Ian Huntley will spend at least 40 years in prison, a High Court judge has ruled.
Mr Justice Moses, who presided over the former school caretaker's 2003 trial, said the 31-year-old cannot be considered for parole until 2042.

Huntley received two life terms for the 2002 murders of Jessica Chapman and Holly Wells, both 10, in Soham, Cambs.



Shouldn't life mean life??? and this guy got two life sentences and he could be out in 40 years...not good enough i dont think

[crazygirl]

well in 40 years he will be 71
but yea ia agree life should be life for what he has done

[Luna]

people can still commit crimes at 71

[Debs]

i agree luna life is life to me he should rot in prison! hopefully he will die early

[Luna]

yup totally agree i am also of the opinion that if they get more than one life sentence then its the death penalty - i know a lot of people wont agree with me on this but it's what i strongly believe

[Debs]

no i agree with you luna, he commited a horrid croime he needs hanging publicly!

[Luna]

i was thinking more of the injection - but a hanging will do me fine

[Luna]

Just read that because of a ruling that was made a few years back he could be out at 65 as long as he had served 15 -20 years by the time he becomes a pensioner he can apply for parole

This "man" is the sort of person capital punishment should be brought back for - he was in a trusted position at the school and the number of failings that could have prevented these poor girls their fate were disgusting. If someone is sentenced to life, it should mean exactly that, though I would prefer capital punishment for then at least I wouldn't be paying his "hotel" bill through my taxes!!!

Our system isn't hard enough on the people carrying out crimes and the number of re-offenders is ridiculous - something needs to be sorted......
