Soham killer Ian Huntley has been found unconscious in his cell at Wakefield Prison after taking a suspected overdose, the Prison Service has said.

Unfortunately he doesnt seem to be dead yet but the question has to be how in the hell did he manage to get enough drugs into his cell to manage to try to overdose yet again? it wasn't that long ago that he tried exactly the same trick

You would have thought that they could have given him drugs intravenously after the first attempt to avoid this kind of thing happening again.

I was wondering the other day what was going on with him.. must be a pretty ****y existance :|

Maybe you expect murderers to be happy people?

Nothing short of what he deserves.

Can't decide what's best for him. To die (and I believe in nothingness afterwards, although that B3ta pic os quality!) or him to rot in a 6ft cell until he dies naturally. Think I'd prefer the latter, but no TV (channel 5 excepted), no perks no nothing.

LOL

I like it!

EDIT: We should have hung the freak in the first place rather than wasting money giving him drugs so that he can do it slowly. He will kill himself eventually so let's cut out the middle man and let him get on with it.

I have no qualms about the expense needed to give Ian Huntley a long, secure time to reflect on what he has done...

It's rare that I agree with the antagonistic one but yeah - what he said.

I have always maintained that it is far better for society and a far greater punishment for the offender for them to spend their natural life in a cell with nothing but the company of their own actions.

He must be really suffering to attempt something like that, glad it looks like he's pulling through too. Same again next month please

I agree. The fact that Huntley and other murderers like Fred West choose suicide, proves that they consider staying alive to be a worse punishment.

I agree that it may be worse, although I don't think that the aim should be to give them the 'worse' option. The only person that can truly punish you is yourself, and adequete time to reflect on things will encourage a person to take a good long hard look

What did he try to OD on?

Goberpiles316 · 5 Sep 2006 at 11:43

Letting him choose the time of his death is the easy way out, let him rot.

NathanE · 5 Sep 2006 at 11:44

Good job he's pulling through. Wouldn't want him to die or anything! Once he's served the time he can go rot in hell.

I do agree that his decision to try and take his own life is probably based on his remorse after his years of reflection. He will continue to suffer the remorse for the rest of his life and a fitting punishment that will be. He is a coward and killing himself is his way out of the torment.

However, I view him as a sick animal and when they cannot be cured they are put down. Ultimately, for true compassion we should execute him to put him out of his misery.

jakeke · 5 Sep 2006 at 13:13

He should be made to serve his sentence and then executed. Obviously he'd try and kill himself in jail, but if there were any way to make this happen then I'd support it, but only in extreme cases such as this one, this man does not deserve to live and be amongst other law abiding people.
