Ian Huntley cremated in secret
Convicted child killer Ian Huntley has been cremated in a secret ceremony in Newcastle, with no funeral service or mourners in attendance.
Huntley, 52, died at the Royal Victoria Infirmary nine days after being brutally attacked with a metal pole by a fellow inmate at HMP Frankland.
His family reportedly refused to claim his body or organize a memorial, leading to a state-managed disposal of his remains.
The circumstances of his death are currently the subject of a murder investigation, with another prisoner already charged in connection with the fatal assault.
