Overview

• The Sun and Daily Mail report HMP Frankland moved the Soham killer back to an enhanced status, restoring access to an Xbox, extra canteen money and longer visits.
• The Prison Service has not publicly confirmed the reported reinstatement.
• His status was downgraded in July after officers seized a red United‑style shirt with a white 10 that was viewed as referencing the victims’ age.
• Reports say the garment was a non‑official lookalike allegedly bought from Sports Direct, raising questions about a rules gap that bans official football shirts but not similar sportswear.
• Ian Huntley is serving two life sentences with a 40‑year minimum for the 2002 murders of Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman, and unnamed sources say some staff and inmates are angry about the privileges being restored.
