Carr 'spoke about girls in past tense'

The man accused of the murders of Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman spoke of his upset at possibly being the “last friendly face” the girls had spoken to when he was interviewed on TV after their disappearance.

The Old Bailey jury trying Ian Huntley, 29, who denies murdering the 10-year-olds, today heard a series of interviews conducted by print and broadcast journalists in the days after the friends went missing from their Soham home on August 4, 2002.
