Soham murderer Ian Huntley reportedly had his Xbox confiscated by prison authorities as a disciplinary measure due to his misconduct. Huntley, serving two life sentences for the brutal killings of Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman in 2002, faced repercussions for breaking prison rules related to discipline and possessing unauthorized items.

Turning 52 soon, Huntley was relocated within the high-security HMP Frankland facility in County Durham to an area usually designated for elderly inmates. Known as ‘Monster Mansion,’ Frankland accommodates some of the country’s most dangerous criminals, among them Levi Bellfield, Wayne Couzens, and Michael Adebolajo.

During a search of his cell, prohibited items such as DVDs, USB sticks, and magazines were discovered, leading Huntley to confess to the rule violations involving contraband, resulting in the confiscation of his Xbox console.

An insider revealed to The Sun that Huntley was particularly dismayed over losing his beloved Xbox and being transferred to a lower-level cell among older inmates, causing him to become the subject of ridicule. Huntley, a former caretaker at St Andrew’s Primary School where the victims attended, shocked the nation with the heinous crimes he committed.

Before his apprehension, Huntley actively participated in the search for the missing girls, falsely claiming to have been the last person to see them alive. The tragic discovery of the girls’ bodies occurred 13 days after their disappearance, perpetrating immense sorrow and outrage.

Recently, Huntley’s daughter, Samantha Bryan, sought to visit him in prison to gain insights into the gruesome murders he perpetrated. However, she received a curt response from Huntley, indicating little possibility of a meeting due to his lengthy incarceration and her intentions, labeling him as a “pitiful, twisted, manipulative coward.”

Having spent a major part of his sentence in high-security facilities, Huntley was previously housed at HMP Wakefield before being transferred to Frankland in 2008. In 2010, he fell victim to a violent assault by a fellow inmate, resulting in severe injuries.

With a parole hearing not scheduled until 2042, Huntley remains incarcerated unless the Parole Board determines he no longer poses a threat to society.
