As he had his throat slashed in prison - he is claiming £100,000 for a failure of duty of care.

The families of the girls he tortured and killed received £11,000 each as compensation.

I would pay him his claim of £100,000 ...... then in the same day, rule that the girls parents should receive £50,000 each from Huntley for his lack of care for their daughters.

Personally, I think that when you go into prison for such a crime you lose all your rights - but, we don't live in a society that thinks that is fair

The fact that he can claim pretty much somes up whats wrong with this country.

Agreed, he's a bloody disgrace to the human race!

Can we reward the chap that attacked him?

David Lock

Hopefully the court will decide that the authorities were not negligent and dismiss the claim. But I have a sickening feeling that he has a case.

Perhaps if he won any money it could then be frozen so he can never touch it. It will probably end up in the European Court. Perhaps by then he will have tripped into a boiling vat of oil.

Or somebody else has another go at his throat but with better results this time round

his name is Damien Fowkes hes at Frankland jail, Co Durham. cant see why you couldnt send him some cigs or something

as an after thought, try not to forget that this bloke is serving life for holding up a family with a knife, you dont get life for nothing!!

dpb

I was actually thinking along the exact same lines .

If he does get it he becomes an even more unpopular figure inside youd imagine ( unless it was alll 'arranged' ) .

Surely an account which isnt serviced after several years goes to the governement anyway .

I expect some Lawyer will make his name getting C*ntley a result

JonnyFresh

He needs putting in a room with the kids parents for an hour. There's your compo.

Leslie

Thats one solution which would work in their favour.

On the other hand, the only person he should be suing is the bloke who slashed his throat. Whatever compensation he got should be used to pay off the legal aid and than he can give whats left to the families, should he get any that is!

Les

David Lock

Trouble is you can't change the law resulting in prisoners having carte blanche to exact revenge on whoever they want. And I can't see that making it only for "nasty" offences - like those of that s,hit Huntley - is workable. I wish it was. dl

The Zohan

Any money he gets should go to childrens charities, end of!

By all accounts he prefers crack to Lambert and Butler........

The Zohan

Just goes to show that a child murderer is the lowest of the low, not condoning holding a family at knife-point (which is pretty low) but it proves a point (no pun intended).

Mikej857

This just shows what is so wrong with this country now, this person killed 2 young girls who had there whole lives ahead of them and he can now sue us which is who is going to pay for the legal aid and ultimatley any money he does get.

Unreal lets hope the next time someone does it properly and the money is given to people who deserve it

pslewis

When that Gypsy thieving Pikey Brendan Fearon sued for ££££££££££'s I seem to remember that ScoobyNet and others on the Net all sent messages to the Lawyers representing him ....... the Lawyers dropped out due to the negative publicity and the case folded.

I'm sure that we can, again, make sure that no Lawyer or Lawyer Firm dare take this case on ......................... we are much more powerful than we imagine! If I had the ability I would set up a website stating which Lawyers were working on Huntleys behalf and make sure they were under no illusion what the public thought of them!

Geezer

I'm sure he will win his case. They did fail their duty of care. No matter what you think of Huntley and his ilk, we have a system that puts people in prison under the care the HM Prison Service, not to be given summary justice.

However, the fact that he may get money for it is extremely distasteful. As previously stated, the money should either go to the families of the girls he killed or to some charity.

Or to the guy who slashed him

Geezer

Leslie

Are you saying that there is a law which entitles prisoners to attack any other prisoner that they feel like injuring.

I would find that hard to believe.

Les

David Lock

I am sorry if my post wasn't clear.

I am saying the exact opposite - you can't do away with the current law thus giving prisoners the right to get away with revenge or whatever. dl

Leslie

I would be surprised if he was unable to find one who was prepared to prostitute himself for the cash out of his legal aid.

But..............

Fact is it happens and the authorities won't be able to stop it.

Perhaps dare I say maybe even turn a blind eye to some of the stuff.

The Zohan

Yes, i do remember this happening and being one of those who emailed the solicitors

Would be more than happy to do it again, especially for this POS Huntley!

Also would happily contribute to a 'fund' to go the the person who does finally 'finish' Huntley!

His crimes warranted a death sentence in the first place, not expensive care. The money would be better spent on protecting and helping kids, not Huntley!

David Lock

I am sure they do but having a cut throat is hard to hide from visitors etc.

The only way out of this for targets like Huntley would be to give them a choice: -

We lock you up in solitary for 23 hours a day where you will be safe

OR

We let you mix with other inmates and we will try and exercise reasonable care but you lose your rights to sue if you are attacked.

I don't meant that as such
I mean that perhaps sometimes the guards might just turn the other way and pretend not to see/hear for small time.

Having said that - prisons are full of security cameras nowadays anyway, we'll one particular prison in N.Ireland is anway.
