Ian Huntley dies: Soham locals say 'not worth our time'

Ian Huntley, the former caretaker who murdered two schoolgirls in 2002, has passed away at age 52. The killer never revealed what happened inside his home during the final moments of Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman. Locals in the Cambridgeshire town have refused to discuss the news, stating the murderer is not worth their time. While Holly’s father declined to comment, some anonymous residents described the death as poetic justice.
