Huntley had his throat slashed with a makeshift knife while in County Durham’s Frankland prison

A prisoner has pleaded guilty to the manslaughter of child murderer Colin Hatch and the attempted murder of Soham killer Ian Huntley.

Damien Fowkes, 35, admitted slashing Huntley’s throat in HMP Frankland in March 2010 at Hull Crown Court accused.

He also strangled to death child killer Colin Hatch at Full Sutton Prison near York in February 2011.

The court heard how Fowkes showed “strong psychopathic traits”.

Hatch, 38, of north London, was killed while serving a life sentence for killing a seven-year-old boy.

Fowkes, from Northampton, was initially charged with Hatch’s murder but his plea of guilty to manslaughter was accepted on the grounds of diminished responsibility.

Graham Reeds, prosecuting, told the court his manslaughter plea was acceptable.

Huntley was jailed for life for the murdering two schoolgirls in Soham, Cambridgeshire.
