The ex-co worker said she hopes his death can bring ‘some closure’ to the town
A woman who worked with Ian Huntley before he murdered schoolgirls Holly and Jessica has reacted to his death. The woman who worked with him in Soham, Cambridgeshire and did not want to be named, said she “didn’t like” him when she worked with him.

Huntley, aged 52, died in hospital on Saturday (March 7) after being attacked at HMP Frankland on February 26. He was serving a life sentence for the murder of Soham schoolgirls Jessica Chapman and Holly Wells, 10, in 2002.
Huntley worked as a caretaker at Soham Village College after moving to the area in 2001. One woman, who wished to remain anonymous, used to work with Huntley at the school.
She told CambridgeshireLive that she “didn’t like him” even before he killed the two innocent girls. It was reported that Huntley’s life-support machine was switched off on Friday night after the 52-year-old suffered severe brain trauma during the attack and then he died in hospital on Saturday morning.
A spokesman for Durham Constabulary said: “A man who was attacked at HMP Frankland in Durham last week has died in hospital this morning. Ian Huntley, 52, was taken to hospital with serious injuries following an incident in the workshop on the morning of Thursday, February 26. A police investigation into the circumstances of the incident is ongoing. A file is being prepared for the Crown Prosecution Service for consideration for charges.”

The partner of Huntley’s former colleague, who also wished to not be named, said: “He [Ian Huntley] had one problem, he breathed. The only other problem is when he died, he wasn’t conscious.”
The former co-worker and her partner both said they hope Huntley’s death can bring “some closure” to Soham. She added: “They [Holly and Jessica] would be in their 30s now. They [Holly and Jessica’s] parents could have been grandparents now. [We hope] it’s a rest for the parents.”

Fans of gaming, listen up: London Games Festival has officially unveiled what’s happening for the festival’s latest iteration.
The festival, which runs every year, celebrates the best of gaming in the UK and beyond, culminating with the BAFTA Games Awards in April. It’s always popular – last year, 102,000 people visited the festival’s 26 different events – and while some of the fortnight revolves around industry meetings, there’s also more than enough for gaming fans to get stuck into as well.
This year, things kick off on March 27 and continues all the way until April 19. Here’s what to put in your calendar.
This first event happens a few weeks before the rest of the festival gets going, on March 27. It’s part of the V&A Museum’s Friday Late series, but this one is gaming-inspired: curated by Susie Buchan and the V&A’s Senior Curator of Contemporary Programmes Kristian Volsing. It’s an evening that includes live-action roleplay, cosplay drag, talks about professional acting in video games and the chance to hear experimental live-coded music. It promises to be a fascinating night out.

Strange Play: Open Mic and Showcase
Though Somerset House’s festival of experimental gaming, Now Play This, is no more, one of its curators, Holly Gramazio, has been involved in setting up three new events that will run during the festival instead. The first of these is Strange Play, which celebrates unconventional approaches to play and performance. On April 13, there’s an open mic open to anybody wanting to perform ‘short playable works’, before the showcase on April 18-19. This second night includes boundary pushing performances like Tamagotchi Séance 3 (to honour our departed virtual pets) and absurdist portaloo-themed escape room The Turdis.
A nice relaxed event run alongside the Games Festival. Head to the PocketSquare Skyline Bar & Terrace at the Hyatt City East for a night featuring lots of retro games, consoles, prizes and chatting with fellow enthusiasts. It’s the perfect place to test out your speedrunning skills in company, alongside a couple of drinks.
Rules of Watching

Artists Danielle Brathwaite-Shirley and Symoné head up this game jam and following talk. Over the course of two days, 15 game makers and creatives will be linking up to explore their game development skills through workshops, play and critical challenge – before Brathwaite-Shirley and Symoné unpack their findings in a talk on April 15. The theme this year is The Rules of Watching – which, the website explains, you can take any way you please.
This full-day takeover of Siobhan Davies Studios will bring together professionals, players, philosophers, scientists and more to take part in a series of roundtable discussions about the state of gaming and storytelling, with the aim of designing your own short game. There are three strands to this event — Game Demos, Game Poems and PlayLab – so pick your favourite and get creating.
Get hands-on time with some of the latest game releases before anybody else. Held every year at Exhibition White City, this is where studios and developers come to showcase their upcoming games (this year, there are more than 70 titles on show) and consumers get to chat with them, as well as test out those games for themselves. How could you resist?

London Video Game Orchestra
This does what it says on the tin: returning to Cadogan Hall for the second year, the London Video Game Orchestra will be playing music from some of gaming’s most iconic franchises. Think Dolphin Shoals from Mario Kart 8, music from the Final Fantasy franchise and (of course) the iconic Halo choir.
It’s been more than a week since Iran launched revenge attacks on the Middle East

16:36, 09 Mar 2026Updated 16:37, 09 Mar 2026
New travel advice has been released for Brits stuck in the Middle East as the war in Iran rages on.
On February 28, US-Israeli missiles rained down on Tehran as part of ‘Operation Epic Fury’, killing supreme leader Ali Khamenei. In response, Iran hit back, firing missiles across Dubai, Kuwait and Bahrain in a bid to target US air bases.

Thousands of Brits have since been stranded in the Middle East as flights were ground to a halt amid the brewing conflict.
Now, the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) has issued an update in the escalating situation, revealing dozens of flights are due to start bringing people home.
In a post shared on X today (March 9), the FCDO said dozens of flights are due to depart from the region to bring back Brits who have remained stranded since the beginning of the US and Israeli joint operation.
The post reads: “On Sunday, 30 flights departed from across the region carrying more than 7,000 British nationals – the highest number of Brits arriving in the UK in a single day since the beginning of the crisis. More than 40 flights are scheduled to depart from the region today.”

The FCDO added that “more than 37,000 British nationals have returned to the UK since March 1”.
“Three charter flights have now left Oman and landed in the UK. The third flight landed in the UK earlier this morning (Monday),” the post continued.
“The UK government has chartered a flight out of Dubai which, subject to the situation on the ground, will leave later today.
“More than 40 flights are scheduled to depart from the region today (Monday). British nationals in Bahrain, Israel, Kuwait, Lebanon, Palestine, Qatar and the UAE should ‘Register Your Presence’ with the FCDO.

“British nationals should continue to follow FCDO Travel Advice and local instructions, as the situation is volatile and could escalate.”
Some 172,000 British nationals have registered their presence in the region. The Prime Minister’s official spokesman said: “The Foreign Secretary will continue to speak to airlines, travel companies and regional governments to find safe routes home.”
Meanwhile, thousands of UK families face disruption to Easter holiday plans because of the conflict, reports The Express. Dozens of flights to Cyprus were cancelled last week, amid airlines’ concerns about its proximity to the region and the presence of a UK air base, which was hit by a drone.
On Monday, 16 out of the 18 scheduled flights from the UK to Qatar were cancelled because of continued airspace closures, aviation analytics company Cirium said. Eleven out of 33 flights from the UK to the UAE, which includes both Dubai and Abu Dhabi, were also axed.

About half a million passengers per day normally use airports in Dubai, Doha or Abu Dhabi. It is expected to take weeks to clear the backlog of stranded passengers caused by the conflict, which started on February 28.
Airspace closures are not just affecting holidaymakers who plan to visit the Middle East, as its airports are a vital hub for travel between Europe and the continents of Asia and Australia.
There has been a surge in demand for non-stop flights between the UK and Asia which avoid stopovers in the Middle East.
Julia Lo Bue-Said, chief executive of Advantage Travel Partnership, a network of independent travel agents, told the Press Association: “The situation across the Middle East continues to evolve rapidly, and our travel agent partners have been working around the clock this weekend to ensure customers receive the most up-to-date advice and guidance.

“For holidays booked to Cyprus, it is very much business as usual.
“The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office is not currently advising against travel to Cyprus and as such, if you choose to cancel your holiday at this stage, standard cancellation charges will apply.
“For holidays or trips booked to the Middle East, or to Asia with a routing through the Middle East, standard cancellation terms will apply unless your airline has proactively rerouted or cancelled your flight.
“If you have booked a package holiday and your trip is cancelled by the provider as a direct result of the situation, you are entitled to a full refund or the option to amend your booking.”

The daughter of the 2008 FA Cup winner has three international caps for Iceland
Football remains a family business for one Pompey Hall of famer, whose offspring has lined up in an international against England.

And also in attendance at Nottingham Forest for the occasion was her proud father Hermann Hreidarsson.
Perhaps it was fated that Ida would become a professional footballer, considering both of the 23-year-old’s parents represented Iceland with distinction.
Father was a 2008 FA Cup winner with Portsmouth

Hreidarsson won the FA Cup with Pompey in 2008 and made 89 international appearances in a career which also saw him serve Ipswich, Charlton, Crystal Palace, Brentford and Coventry.
While her mother, Ragna Loa Stefansdottir, featured 36 times for Iceland, scoring twice, before being forced to retire through injury in 1999.
Saturday’s fixture against England represented Hermannsdottir’s third international outing, having last week also started in a 3-0 defeat to Spain.

The talented midfielder represents Fimleikafelag Hafnarfjaroar (FH), a club based in a harbour town near Reykjavik who compete in the top tier of women’s football in Iceland.
Born in England during Hreidarsson’s time with Ipswich, she lined-up against Sarina Wiegman’s Three Lions side in Saturday’s Group 3 fixture on the road to the 2027 Women’s World Cup in Brazil.

2-0 defeat to England Women
Lucy Bronze and Georgina Stanway were the scorers in England’s 2-0 success, which sees them top a group which also contains Spain and Ukraine, albeit after just two matches.
Hermannsdottir was replaced in the 63rd minute at a time when the scoreline was 1-0, with her dad among the 27,474 crowd at the City Ground.
Hreidarsson’s own playing career saw him inducted in the Hall of Fames at both Ipswich and Pompey in recognition of his outstanding contributions, mainly in the Premier League.

A hugely popular character who largely operated as a swash-buckling, competitive left-back, he made 123 appearances for the Blues, scoring eight times, and was one of Harry Redknapp’s 2008 FA Cup winners.
‘I spent the best time of my career here’
At the time he told The News: ‘I feel so grateful, humble and thankful – I spent the best time of my football career here.
‘The people of this football club brought me here because they understand my character, they appreciated what I bring, and I went on to have a great relationship with the fans.
‘Obviously I have been waiting for the Hall of Fame phone call for years! But seriously, I am so grateful. I genuinely gave everything to this club and it’s nice to receive this.

‘Towards the end, we had some really tough times, testing times, and after I left Pompey I always wanted to help, that’s why I brought my Icelandic team over.
‘For me it was important to give something back, so helping raise funds for the club after the fans took over was close to my heart. It was the least I could do.
‘I had the best of times here at Pompey – my connection with the club is there for life.’
At trial Max Elliott denied the charge and said he thought he had consensual sex
A former university student has been found not guilty of rape. Prosecutors alleged Max Elliott, 24, ‘stealthed’ a female student at the University of Manchester after the pair met at a party. It was said that she gave consent for sex on the condition he used a condom.

It was alleged that Mr Elliott did not use a condom, which ‘removes’ her consent to sex. “What would otherwise have been consensual sexual intercourse in law then becomes rape,” prosecutor Henry Blackshaw said.
Prosecutors also alleged Mr Elliott ‘admitted what he had done’ to his friends and donated money to a ‘rape victims charity’.

Mr Elliott, from Surrey, says the woman told him they should ‘probably’ use a condom. Mr Elliott claimed she would have known he was not using a condom because she had performed oral sex on him shortly before.

After 45 minutes of deliberations, a jury at Minshull Street Crown Court found Mr Elliott not guilty of the single charge of rape.
Jurors were told that Mr Elliott and the alleged victim were both university students at the time. They met at a student party and the woman was ‘clearly attracted’ to Mr Elliott, the court heard.
They returned to his accommodation where they engaged in ‘clearly consensual’ sexual acts. Prior to engaging in full sexual intercourse, the woman asked Mr Elliott to use a condom because she was not using a contraceptive pill, jurors heard.
Mr Blackshaw said she provided him with a condom and that she deliberately turned her back on him, to give him ‘space and privacy’. They began having sex and that ‘at the point of ejaculation she started to realise that in fact he was not wearing a condom’. The woman was said to have told Mr Elliott: “Did you just do what I think you did?”

She was also said to have told him: “I can’t believe you just violated me like that.” Jurors heard she then noticed the condom she had given to him unwrapped. She said she asked him ‘why you did that?’. Mr Elliott allegedly said: “I’m so sorry, I don’t understand, I don’t understand.”
She then called him an ‘a*******’ and slapped him across the face, jurors heard. She left and returned to her accommodation. She told a flatmate about what had happened, who is said to have told her: “Sounds like you’ve been raped.”
The woman said Mr Elliott texted her offering to pay for a morning after pill, but she declined. Over the next few days she ‘avoided seeing him’ and Mr Elliott texted and asked to meet up to speak about what happened, jurors were told.
They heard that one night Mr Elliott called her, sounding ‘broken and hollow’ and saying that he ‘really, really’ wanted to speak to her. He said that he was ‘dropping out’ of university and was taking the train home the following day. She agreed to meet him the following morning.
Advertisement
She met him in a park and described Mr Elliott looking like ‘a shell of his previous self’. Mr Elliott allegedly told the woman: “I hold myself up to a high standard, this is a bump in the road. I’m not a bad person. This was a mistake, and I can’t apologise enough.”
Prosecutors claimed Mr Elliott had also met up with a friend, telling him that he had ‘f***** up’ and ‘done something bad’. They claim he told the friend that he’d pretended to put a condom on during sex.
The friend told another pal, who both then spoke with Mr Elliott. Mr Elliott allegedly told them: “I know, I’ve done wrong, I’ve donated £200 to a rape charity.”
Giving evidence at his trial, Mr Elliott said: “I couldn’t remember who approached first, but it was mutual. We ended up kissing and we danced together. We left the party… and went back to my room.”
Advertisement
He said she performed oral sex upon him, but he was not able to sustain an erection which left him ’embarrassed’.
“At this point nothing was wrong,” he told the court. “There was perhaps a sense that she was a bit disappointed and the atmosphere was a bit awkward. At that point she got on top of me and straddled me and it felt clear we were about to have sexual intercourse.”
Mr Elliott said he tried to penetrate the woman, but was unable to. “At that point it was fairly clear we were going to have sex and she said to me ‘you should probably wear a condom’”, he told jurors.
He said the woman handed him a condom from her bag. Mr Elliott added: “I thought briefly about putting it on, but I had a semi at that point and was not able to put it on. I placed it on the shelf. As far as I knew, I thought she could see my penis and see I was not wearing a condom.”

Mr Elliott accepted he was not wearing a condom at the time. He said believed the woman was aware he was not wearing one after engaging in foreplay. “There was no break when I could have put it on, she must have been aware,” he said. “She didn’t indicate she didn’t want to have sex.”
He denied being ‘animalistic’ or ‘violent’ and denied forcing himself on her. “The atmosphere was good, enthusiastic and consensual,” Mr Elliott added.
Jurors found Mr Elliott, of Station Road, Thames Ditton, Surrey, not guilty of rape and he was discharged from the dock.
Multiple roads remain shut in the city centre following the major blaze which broke out on Sunday afternoon

Multiple roads are still shut in Glasgow city centre this afternoon on Monday, March 9 following a tragic fire which erupted next to Central Station yesterday evening. The blaze broke out on late Sunday afternoon before rapidly escalating into a major inferno that took down the historic building at the corner of Union Street and Gordon Street.
The height of the blaze saw 18 fire engines on the scene as well as over 60 firefighters grappling to fully extinguish the flames. By Monday morning, the B-listed Victorian building, which survived both WW1 and WW2, was lying in a pile of ash.
Now, 24 hours on from the start of the fire, the area remains fully taped off and multiple surrounding roads are shut off. Police Scotland have confirmed multiple road closures are in place, Glasgow Live reports.

The following locations are impacted:
Renfield Street at West George Street
St Vincent Street at West Nile Street
West Nile Street southbound from Bath Street
Still in place at Broomielaw between Oswald Street and Jamaica Street
Vehicles can go over King George V bridge and turn left onto Broomielaw
Clyde Street westbound, turn right onto Glasgow Bridge and then back over King George V bridge
Superintendent Jackie Dunbar said in a statement: “Police continue to support our emergency partners with their response to this significant incident in the city centre.
“I would urge people to be mindful of the road closures, plan journeys carefully and to avoid the area if they can bearing in mind that there will be a significant impact on the wider road network.”
A senior officer with the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service said it took a “huge effort” from fire crews to stop the fire outside Glasgow Central station from spreading into a nearby hotel.

Assistant Chief Officer David Farries confirmed that an investigation is required to find out what caused the fire to rapidly spread after it broke out in a vape shop.
He said: “We’re not sure at this time, in terms of what the contents of the properties were at that point. Clearly, we were mobilised to an incident in what was a vape shop on the street.
“But we need to do full investigations with our multi-agency partners to understand the nature of the fire and understand why the fire spread the way that the fire did.”
He added: “Clearly, we’ve stopped the fire spreading at the Grand Central Hotel, which was a huge effort from our crews.”

When asked about the ferocity of the fire, he replied: “I think the pictures speak for themselves – that’s a very intense fire.”
Millionaire businessman Anthony Saxon Kearsley was overcome with emotion after a poignant interaction with a homeless person.

The wealthy Suffolk-based magnate had the eye-opening experience in Channel 4’s new show, Handcuffed: Last Pair Standing, a social experiment hosted by Jonathan Ross in which strangers from different walks of life are literally handcuffed 24/7.
The nine pairs are competing against one another to win a £100,000 prize pot; in the meantime, they are being introduced to entirely new perspectives and life experiences.
Airing weekly, the upcoming episodes check in with Tilly, 37, a North London barmaid juggling three jobs who works closely with the local homeless community, providing meals through her charity.
Still bound to rich automotive enthusiast Anthony, in the new episode, the chalk-and-cheese duo discussed the initiative while prepping meals.

Anthony espoused out-of-touch opinions that some people ‘don’t want to help themselves’ and compared homelessness to ‘camping’, while the group looked on askance.

They headed out to deliver the hot meals, as Tilly tried to explain how vital this work is. In one interaction, Anthony had in a McDonald’s with a homeless man, recently out of prison.
The latter shared the struggle to go to the job centre without an address, adding: ‘I’ve been out of jail for a while, I just feel like going back, I can’t stand it.’
As they parted ways, Anthony said he ‘hopes things work out’ for, and clearly remained troubled by the interaction.
Speaking to the cameraman, cigarette in hand, he said: ‘I am a bit [overwhelmed]. He wants to go back to prison because he can’t cope with life. It’s appalling.

‘It’s really shocking. I was wrong to say some people don’t want help. It’s appalling, dreadful. Thank you [Tilly] for showing me. I won’t be as flippant again.’
Tilly explained: ‘That is like a tiny percent of what I see day in, day out.’
‘I’m amazed that you’re so positive and I’m amazed that you’ve survived this intact,’ he said. Choking up, he continued: ‘Anyway, God love you. Terrible isn’t it. I’m quite cut up about it to be honest…’
He shared his revelation with the camera (Picture: Channel 4)

Discussing her experience handcuffed to Anthony, Tilly told Metro: ‘He just thinks everything comes really easily to people and it doesn’t, sadly.
‘Until he came and saw the work that at my homeless charity, saw how people actually live, he was taken quite aback. I probably took for granted how easily it comes to me to speak to people, and it doesn’t come that easily to him, especially people that aren’t on his level.’

The show has already been subject to controversy, with one pair’s experience coming to a shocking end in the first episode after clashing over Hitler and the Reform Party.
Handcuffed airs Monday and Tuesday at 9pm on Channel 4.
