Bound to happen.


[Soham double murderer Ian Huntley has been
seriously injured in an assault at HMP Frankland
in County Durham, the BBC understands.

Huntley is currently serving a life sentence
after he was convicted of murdering
schoolgirls Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman
in August 2002.
Although the Prison Service did not confirm the
identity of the injured prisoner,
it confirmed an inmate is receiving treatment.

"It would be inappropriate to commen
t further while police investigate,"
a Prison Service spokesperson added.
It is understood the attack on Huntley happened
in a prison workshop just before 09:30 GMT.

An air ambulance was dispatched to
HMP Frankland, but the
North East Ambulance Service spokesperson
said the injured inmate was
taken to hospital by road.
Durham Constabulary confirmed a
police investigation is under way and
that detectives are liaising with
staff at the prison.

"Police were alerted to an assault which
had taken place within HMP Frankland in Durham
this morning," a Durham police spokesman said.]
