Huntley did not reveal all in taped confession - Daily Telegraph wrong to claim otherwise

I was cynical when I read "Huntley revealed all in taped 'confession'" in the Daily Telegraph. It's an attention grabbing headline. However, I feel that whoever was responsible for putting this before the article either did not read the piece or didn't care whether it reflected in brief the substance of the story. In any event, this is just an example of shoddy journalism. My main concern is with the version of events as described by Huntley on a tape about the time he took an overdose of pills.

Huntley does not accept responsibility for killing both Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman. Throughout he blames Maxine Carr, Holly and Jessica. A problem with Huntley serving a natural life sentence is that because he knows that he will never be released there is no incentive for him to address his offending behaviour on one of the courses run by the Prison Service. As he knows that he will not be released there is no incentive for him to address his level of perceived risk to the public. Huntley's version of events do not hold up under scrutiny. There are too many inconsistencies, and gaps in the narrative. He has not yet faced up to what he has done. The group therapy sessions at Grendon Underwood would assist him to address his guilt.

This would unlock the secrets he is keeping in the back of his mind.

He is not serving a prison sentence worth a pinch of salt.

A waste of time, space and money.
