Maxine Carr, who lied to protect her killer boyfriend Ian Huntley, will spend Christmas with her family, while the parents of Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman continue to grieve.
Maxine Carr will be celebrating Christmas with her husband and son - while the parents of Soham victims Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman will spend another year without their daughters. For two decades, Maxine has lived a protected life after being released from prison for providing her killer boyfriend, Ian Huntley , a false alibi. In 2009, it was reported that Maxine, who has a new identity, demanded that taxpayers buy her a Santa outfit and help pay for her Christmas knees-up.
She claimed she needed the cash to make her festive season 'happy and stress-free' and said she couldn't get a full-time job so the state had a 'duty of care'. She wanted at least £500 to cover food, drink, a microwave, Christmas decorations and gifts for her 'family, friends and boyfriends', the Mirror reports. She was freed halfway through her sentence and given round-the-clock police protection which has reportedly cost millions. The public purse has also funded £8,000 worth of dental work and a range of plastic surgery - including a boob job for her new identity. And as The People revealed in 2008, the former teaching assistant was given a £1,000 Christmas 'bonus' in years gone by. On August 4, 2002, she lied to police when asked about her whereabouts in relation to the two missing schoolgirls. She claimed she had been at home and in the bath when the 10-year-olds had stopped outside their property, provided by the school where Huntley worked, to speak with him. But she had actually been miles away from Soham, Cambridgeshire, in her hometown of Grimsby, where the couple had met. Best friends Holly and Jessica left a family BBQ to get sweets when they vanished. Their bodies were later found in an irrigated ditch close to the RAF base about 10 miles away. Both Carr and Huntley spoke to the press and joined locals, along with 400 police officers, in the desperate search for the best pal
