    A Psychopath At School: The Sickening Crimes Of Ian Huntley (Part 1)
    Jul 6 2025
    Explicit

    When 10-year-olds Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman vanished from the quiet town of Soham in 2002, Britain was gripped by a tragedy that quickly spiralled into one of the most disturbing child murder cases in modern history. In this first episode of a three-part investigative series, Psycho Killer: Shocking True Crime Stories examines the early signs, missed red flags, and manipulative behaviours of Ian Huntley—the school caretaker who inserted himself into the heart of the investigation… while knowing exactly what had happened to the girls.
