The Prison Service in the UK is to launch an investigation after a riot at Bedford Prison which reportedly saw up to 200 inmates go on the rampage.

Soham murderer Ian Huntley is suing the prison service after being attacked by another inmate, the Ministry of Justice said.

Soham murderer Ian Huntley was back in prison in Britain today after an attack by a fellow prisoner left him needing hospital treatment.

An former British Army soldier who hanged himself in jail might still be alive if staff had taken his shoelaces, an inquest jury found today.
