Soham Documentary.

irishgeo

Did anyone see the soham documentary that RTE showed last night. It was after ER and was harrowing to watch.

It just showed how calculated and evil he was and how he could not resist getting caught.


The showed video of the girls clothes in the bin and video of the house.

It aslo played audio of maxine carr finding out about huntley killed the girls and that semmed to really cut her up.

They didnt speculate how he might have killed them but its certain it wasnt how he said.

Think he should rot in jail and life means life.

Top marks to who ever made the documentary. i think it was the BBC as they showed all their news clips.

I saw it.
Sad stuff.
He's some evil bastard. Should be stoned to within an inch of his life every day til he's 90.
She was such a good liar too that i dont think they should have believed her either when she told the 'truth' that she didnt know anything.

Yeah, it was the BBC.

I watched it when it was first shown on BBC One on the night that Huntley & Carr were sentanced. Very well made Documentary.

It's easy to say "he was with me", and be convincing about it. In fairness her lie didn't perpetuate very long. She was the one who told police that she'd lied, after they were arrested. On that video, she didn't exactly need to put much effort in to lie...

She lied to protect him because she loved him and trusted that he was telling her the truth. I know I'd probably do the same in her position (for my parent/brother/mate/gf etc), and like her, would probably back out as soon as I realised that there might be more to it.

Her sentence was far too harsh, and a pure illustration of how susceptible the British justice system is to media sensationalisation.

The judge condemed her on the fact that it took longer to arrest Huntley, when the fact of the matter is - the arrested him anyway, even after she'd lied, and arresting him a week earlier would have made little difference. The girls were already dead.

i thought she'd be acquitted,a girl like her in a relationship with ian huntley ,it was hardly surprising that she backed him up as she was away at the time and probably wanted to believe him.the police screwed up taking so long to identify him as a suspect

What would you suggest then dave? I grew up justy outside Soham, and used to be good friends with Jessica Chapman's uncle Mark, and I'd love to see the scumbag suffer for the rest of his life for what he's done.

the bottom line is, that for what he's done he will never spend a day in the general population of the prison, so he's going to have a cell to himself, and tv, books, papers, a gym, an education and decent food. he's a loner anyway, someone with few friends his whole life, so he's not going to be missing out on anything. he'll get time out in the fresh air, and pretty much everything else he needs aside from the ability to leave the prison.

he's not going to suffer at all, and will ive out his days with his feet up enjoying the good life at the tax payers expense.

persoanlly, iu hope someone does get to him inside and does him some damage over as long a period of time as possible. people like him deserve no mercy.
