The main suspect behind the prison assault of Ian Huntley has been formally charged. Anthony Russell, the triple murder convict accused of striking the Soham Killer with a pole with a spike at its end, is scheduled to officially appear at the Newton Aycliffe Magistrates' Court via video link on Wednesday, 11 March.
'Our prosecutors have worked to establish that there is sufficient evidence to bring the case to trial and that it is in the public interest to pursue criminal proceedings. We have worked closely with Durham Constabulary as they carried out their investigation,' Christopher Atkinson of the CPS stated in a report by The Guardian.
