Carr sent to Holloway after court

THE girlfriend of the man alleged to have murdered schoolgirls Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman was last night in custody after appearing in court charged with allegedly lying to police.

Former teaching assistant Maxine Carr was transferred to Holloway Prison, North London Britain's biggest women's jail after being remanded in custody following an appearance at Peterborough Magistrates' Court.

She was accused of attempting to pervert the course of justice during the hunt to find the missing 10-year-olds.
