'Huntley replaced car tyres after girls disappeared'

Ian Huntley replaced the tyres on his car the day after Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman disappeared despite the fact they were in “surprisingly good condition”, the Old Bailey heard today.

On August 5, 2002, Huntley, who denies murder, took his red Ford Fiesta to Ely Tyre Service in Cambridgeshire, where it was fitted with four new tyres.
