Taxpayers could pay towards the costs of Ian Huntley's cremation or funeral, unless his family makes alternative arrangements. The 52-year-old double murderer died in hospital on Saturday after allegedly being attacked by an unknown inmate at HMP Frankland. Huntley, who killed 10-year-olds Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman in Soham, Cambridgeshire, in 2002, had been in a critical condition in hospital after being hit with a metal bar on Thursday morning.
