The partner of Ian Huntley acted as his alibi when questioned by police about the disappearance of Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman
Maxine Carr, before her arrest, with a card from Holly Wells written on the last day of term Using trial transcripts and reconstructions, the 90-minute, one-off documentary aims to examine the strategies involved in convicting the man found guilty of their murder, and his girlfriend, Maxine Carr, who provided him with a false alibi which resulted in her being jailed for three-and-a-half years for perverting the course of justice.
Referencing one of the 1998 rapes he had committed but had earlier claimed to have been falsely accused of, Huntley then began voicing concerns as to again being “falsely accused” of involvement on this occasion, also claiming his previous arrest had caused him to suffer a nervous breakdown. Carr then agreed to concoct a false story to support his version of events.
The jury accepted her insistence that she had only lied to the police and media in order to protect Huntley because she had believed his claims of innocence.
