True he shouldn't claim. He murdered two girls and should pay for it. Yes the prison authorties do have a duty of care, but can't watch him 24/7. I 'am sure he did know this would have happened. It will cost thousands of tax payers money too even appeal. If any money was to be paid out. The compo should go to the victims familes. Far as I'am concerned he can rot in prison.

He didn't show much care for the two little girls whom he murdered. This claim should be firmly resisted.

However................. HM Prison Service does have a Duty Of Care over all those inside. Just because he did what he did doesn't make his case against the Home Office any different to somebody who's been beaten up for no reason at all and who has committed a far lesser crime.

You can't really have it both ways.

Point taken, but I'd rather see the responsible prisoners and officers appropriately disciplined than Huntley receive a penny.

So he's not in a heap in a prison cell feeling remorse for what he did to those two girls....no he's up shouting and cluttering up the judicial system...words can't adequately state what I think about Mr Huntley.

I fervently hope not a penny piece sees it's way to him from this claim.

Colin's point is a valid one, and one which is likely to be considered by the courts, especially the European Court of Human Rights, if it goes that far (ie, if he doesn't win here or there's no out-of-court settlement).

He has probably been put up to it by the Prison Reform Trust and a firm of ambulance-chasing solicitors.

The Home Office have a duty of care and I agree the prisoners and officers responsible should have appropriate action taken against them. But any sum awarded should most definately not go to Huntley, it's disgusting to think it could....especially when you consider the amount of compensation his victims famillies were awarded.

Sorry, but why should any consideration be given to compensation for the families of Huntley's victims? They were not providing any financial support to their families and financial compensation is an irrelevance. Cut out the touchy-feely and get back to basics - string Huntley up, together with the slut who helped him.
End of sentimental posting.............. Smile

Don't agree with the death penalty.He should be locked in solitary no tv no papers and no radio.He should come into no contact with anyone but po's.The man is evil and death is to good for him

I think we are in agreement about Huntley not being entitled to compensation. I just feel that any compensation to the families of his victims is insulting to their memories. Monetary compensation to the families of murdered "breadwinners", where financial hardships are a result of the crime is another matter.
