A tormented woman, who claims she is a victim of Soham monster Ian Huntley, has revealed how he groomed her at a fairground when she was 11-years-old. Louise Tinmurth met the killer school caretaker when he was 21 in 1993 – less than a decade before he murdered Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman, both 10.
In her first interview in 20 years, Louise, now aged 40 and a mother-of-five, told how her “life had been shaped” by Huntley’s abuse, but she regrets failing to report it to the authorities. She claimed the killer – jailed for 40 years for the heinous murders that shocked Britain – once locked her in a room and demanded sex.
Louise escaped, but when social services interviewed her she said she had just been friends with manipulative Huntley. Now, on the 20th anniversary of the murders, she has revealed how she is wracked with guilt after lying about their relationship because it meant he was free to become one of Britain’s most evil killers.
