He wasnt beaten up, he was hit over the head with something, and never recovered from it.

The 52-year-old suffered significant head trauma after being attacked with a makeshift weapon by another inmate at HMP Frankland on 26 February and had been on life support in hospital.

Damn someone else has borrowed the world's smallest violin

I get that nobody will mourn him. Fair enough. But the celebrations are misplaced. The man who killed him is also a highly dangerous killer on an extended stay in a maximum security prison. And right now he’s enjoying some sense of validation and moral superiority because he killed a different dangerous killer who was on an extended stay in a maximum security prison. The only difference between these two men is that the public had more sympathy for one man’s victims than they did for the other’s.

I do not think it is a good idea for us to create the impression that dangerous murderers can achieve some sense of personal redemption by trying to kill each other. It makes our prisons more expensive, and more difficult and dangerous to operate. Sooner or later it is also bound to lead to someone getting hurt who definitely doesn’t ‘deserve’ it.

People know my outlook on this and as far as i am concerned the pair of them should not be in jail they should be in a box in the ground put there by the hangman.

This was not a post to start a debate on the death sentence as we have had enough of them I posted my personal opinium and i stand by it.

I totally agree with Chris. We do not have a death penalty and as much as I am glad he is dead I can not condone how he was killed or that his killer was in a position where he could do this.

Exactly. All that's been achieved is that Huntley won't have to serve all of his time in prison, the murderer may well be locked up for longer and it's brought it all back for the people of Soham.

As a society we decided that we wouldn't tolerate murder, so put Huntley in prison, yet some are happy that someone else has committed the same crime.

The main reason I am against the death penalty is because people get away with the punishment of being incarcerated. They skip the punishment of this world.

This guy's victims were robbed of life why should he be handfed for the rest of his?

It's an unforgiving world out there that's brutal. Making adjustments is mental.

I don't believe that our lives end when we leave this Earth, but some people do.

Those that believe that life is eternal will probably agree that Huntley will have to face what he did down here in his next stage of life, so he's effectively been freed from our prison early. Those that believe that when our lives end here, we no longer exist. Again, he has effectively had his prison sentence terminated. Which do you think is worse, being locked up for the test of your days or everything going black & silent and the experience of being in prison ending?

Being alive is less important than the quality of life (it's why some people seek voluntary euthanasia.)

Prison isn't Gods gift to this world. Will the superior being in the after life consider time served lol

Double child killer Ian Huntley could get a taxpayer-funded funeral and memorial service, and the prison governor will be forced to write a letter of condolence to his family, after he was bludgeoned to death by a fellow inmate at HMP Frankland.

Something that's been happening for years and been applied to other famous inmates

3k towards a simple coffin, cremation/burial . If someone's broke I guess the government take on the burden.

Sounds more like shit stirring more than anything
