LIVING DEAD
Ian Huntley faces the world..drugged and dazed..but still with pure evil in his eyes
By Lucy Thornton
I CAME face to face with Ian Huntley yesterday as he was returned to jail with hatred ringing in his ears and the look of the living dead in his soulless eyes.
Handcuffed to a 3ft chain attached to a prison officer, the brute who murdered 10-year-olds Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman was leaving hospital after his second failed suicide attempt.
As he emerged outside where a prison van was waiting for him, a nurse was so consumed with disgust she lost control and screamed at him: "Why didn't you die, you bastard?"
A nearby patient joined in, yelling in fury: "Scum! Rot in jail forever!"
Then, from the scrum of people towering over him as he sat sedated in a wheelchair slumped under a blanket, his eyes met mine.
As he continued to stare at me, my heart started pounding and I thought "Oh my God, it's him. It's Huntley. That man wrapped up in a yellow, fluffy blanket like a baby just three feet away from me killed little Jessica and Holly."
The murderer's hair was flecked with grey, his face was bloated and his head lolled around while his eyelids drooped. Two huge, dark circles around his eyes provided the only colour to his drained, pale face. The sense of evil was palpable.
Huntley, 32, could clearly see the revulsion that swept over me. Quickly, he dropped his eyes and started trying to hide his handcuffs under the blanket.
He was released from intensive care at Pinderfields Hospital, Wakefield, West Yorks, at 11.15am yesterday 34 hours after being found collapsed on his cell floor from a massive overdose of pills.
First, he was wheeled past two children's wards decorated with teddy bear signs and youngsters' innocent drawings.
Then accompanied by three police officers, two prison nurses, a male and female prison officer and a plain-clothed prison security officer, he briefly faced the world he yearns to leave.
As the nurse raged at him, Huntley - wearing dark blue jeans, a prison shirt and with a silver ring on the middle finger of his left hand - turned his dead gaze on her.
A witness contemptuously told his guards: "They don't pay you enough to look after that thing!"
Amid mounting hostility Huntley was helped out of his wheelchair and into the van returning him to Wakefield jail where he is serving a minimum 40 years.
The van was escorted by two police cars for the five-minute journey.
As he left, a woman visitor to the hospital gasped: "Oh my God, even in a wheelchair he looked evil. I can't believe I saw him. I'm still shaking. It's horrible. I never wanted to see him and hope I never do again."
