SOHAM murder detectives are hopeful of establishing how Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman died following the revelation that Ian Huntley admitted to his parents, Kevin and Lynda, that he deliberately killed Jessica.

He is also said to have told them details of Jessica’s final moments. They told the Daily Mirror that they were “80% there” in trying to get their son to admit what happened to the girls.

Detective Chief Supterintendent Chris Stevenson, who led the Soham murder investigation, said yesterday that he was hopeful Huntley would tell the full truth about the girls’ deaths in his house, 5 College Close, in Soham.
