Huntley’s Death Halts Inquest | Sheffield News

The inquest into the death of child killer Ian Huntley has been suspended again as his alleged attacker, inmate Anthony Russell, faces murder charges — with trial set to last five days. Huntley, 52, died from head injuries after an attack inside HMP Frankland, nine days after being hospitalized in March. His 2002 murders of Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman — which shocked the nation and led to a brutal six-week trial — still haunt the case. Maxine Carr, his then-partner, served three-and-a-half years for perverting the course of justice. The coroner’s court has paused the investigation until Russell’s trial concludes — meaning the inquest won’t resume until at least December.
