‘They think I did it,’ Huntley told journalist

SOHAM-ACCUSED Ian Huntley told a journalist 24 hours after Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman disappeared that police had searched his house “and they think I did it”, his Old Bailey murder trial heard yesterday.

BBC producer Debbie Tubby said Huntley approached her on the night of Monday August 5, the day after the 10-year-olds vanished, and said he was the last person to see them and a police suspect.

The jury heard that Huntley later asked her if the girls' clothing had been found nine days before the girls' naked bodies were discovered in a ditch.
