Carr begins evidence in Soham trial

Maxine Carr today began her evidence at the Old Bailey trial of her ex-lover Ian Huntley who stands accused of the double child murder of Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman.

She entered the witness box after her own lawyer admitted she had lied “persistently” during the two weeks after the 10-year-olds died in the home she shared with Huntley in Soham, Cambridgeshire.
