Vile Ian Huntley moans he's ‘being picked on' as prison officers ‘turn over' his cell after sick taunt about his victims
Officers stormed into his cell and confiscated the top, which has a white No 10 on the back in an apparent sick reference to his schoolgirl victims.

We told yesterday how lags had complained about the top — similar to ones worn by ten-year-olds Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman on the day he murdered them in 2002.
Guards also seized framed pictures of Huntley with ex Maxine Carr plus other items including DVDs.
And source said: 'They turned over Huntley's cell and confiscated the shirt.
"He won't be getting it back and has been warned about his vile behaviour.
'The raid was a proper one. They went through all his belongings.
'People had also complained about the Maxine Carr pictures being inappropriate.
"It was like he was revelling in what happened.
'Huntley was moaning that he was being picked on and treated unfairly.
'But neither the staff or other inmates had any sympathy and are pleased he can no longer taunt his victims and others by wearing the shirt.
"It is about time he was treated a bit more harshly in jail.'
Sources said Justice Secretary Shabana Mahmood had been made aware of Huntley's shirt — and was happy bosses had now seized it.
Cons at Co Durham's HMP Frankland, where Huntley is serving two life sentences with a 40-year minimum term, had complained he was 'strutting about' in the top.
Pals Holly and Jessica were wearing matching Man Utd shirts when they were snatched and killed by school caretaker Huntley in a crime that horrified Britain and which Carr helped him to cover up.
A snap of Holly and Jessica in Man Utd shirts – taken on the day Huntley lured them into his house – was the last haunting image of them.
Huntley, now 51, is believed to have ordered the plain red sports top, with a white number on the back, from Sports Direct.
Prisoners are barred from wearing replica shirts of teams as they can cause conflict. But sources said Huntley had made his top as close to a Man Utd one as he could.
One told The Sun: 'Prisoners saw him wearing it when he was being taken to the gym. They shouted that he was a sick b***ard. But he just gave them a thumbs-up.'
The Prison Service said: 'We cannot comment on individuals.'

Police attend protest outside London hotel which 'will be housing asylum seekers'
Metropolitan Police officers attended the scene of a protest outside a hotel in east London where asylum seekers will reportedly be held. The protest took place on Tuesday outside the four-star Britannia Hotel in Canary Wharf, which the government intends to use as temporary accommodation for asylum seekers, according to Tower Hamlets Council. A police statement from last night said: "Officers are currently in attendance at a protest outside a hotel in Canary Wharf. "We have a policing plan in place and will continue to monitor events." A spokesperson for Tower Hamlets Council said: "We are aware of the government's decision to use the Britannia Hotel in Canary Wharf to provide temporary accommodation for asylum seekers. "It is important that the government ensures that there is a full package of support for those staying at the hotel. "We are working with the Home Office and partners to make sure that all necessary safety and safeguarding arrangements are in place." There have been a series of demonstrations outside the Bell Hotel in Epping, Essex, since asylum seeker Hadush Gerberslasie Kebatu, 38, was charged with sexual assault after an incident earlier this month in which he is alleged to have attempted to kiss a 14-year-old girl. Kebatu denied the charge when he appeared at Chelmsford Magistrates' Court on Thursday. Four men have been charged with violent disorder after the protests outside the hotel in Essex, which is believed to be housing asylum seekers, police say.

Counter-terrorist bodies call issue summer holiday warning to parents
A number of UK agencies involved in fighting terrorism have issued a warning to parents that their children could be vulnerable to being influenced online during the summer holidays. For the first time, Counter Terrorism Policing (CTP), MI5, and the National Crime Agency (NCA) have issued a joint statement calling for greater vigilance. It is encouraging parents to discuss online safety with their children, alongside things like putting parental controls on devices and routers. The groups said they are increasingly seeing children "being routinely exposed to the most serious harmful online content". The groups said some of the most extreme content children were being exposed to includes "sexual violence; self-harm and suicide content; extreme gore; animal cruelty; indecent images of children; and terrorist content".In its statement, the groups said some of the children who come to the attention of the CTP and the NCA are "completely desensitised to extreme and obscene content".Vicki Evans, counter terrorism policing's senior national coordinator for Prevent, said that dealing with safety online in "the ever-developing digital world it can feel like an uphill battle"."We want parents to empower their children to know what to do if they come across inappropriate content online," she said. The National Crime Agency's Alexander Murray said that there is a "fast-growing threat from sadistic and violent online gangs, made up predominantly of teenage boys" - something which had been identified in its recent threat assessment. He said these groups are committed to "inflicting harm and committing a range of criminality which includes fraud, cyber, child sexual abuse, violence and extremism/terror related offences".The prevalence of younger offenders has been seen as part of a trend, with MI5 saying 2023 saw the highest number of arrests for young people since records began - with 42 of the 219 people investigated for terrorism being 17 or under. In 2024, 39 young people were investigated for terrorism-related offences. MI5's Director General, Sir Ken McCallum said the trend was "deeply concerning" and: "In a few short clicks, young people can be speaking to dangerous radicalising terrorists online, consuming violent and extremist content."
