He was attacked last week.
Just over a week ago, child-killer Ian Huntley was found lying in a pool of blood at HMP Frankland after a brutal assault in which he was reportedly battered over the head repeatedly with a metal pole.
Huntley was rushed to the Royal Victoria Infirmary, where he has remained in an induced coma ever since.
Now, reports in The Sun, claim that Huntley has been left blind following the attack, and on life support.
The source told The Sun that it is highly unlikely Huntley will survive the attack.
The unnamed source told The Sun: “It is now looking like he will not pull through, barring a miracle.
“Huntley never recovered from the battering and never stood much of a chance of doing so.”
These reports have not been confirmed by officials, however they have been reported in a number of publications.
Police have confirmed, however, that Huntley remains in a “serious condition”.
The chief suspect has been named triple murderer Anthony Russell, although police and prison officials are yet to formally confirm this.
“There has been no change in the 52-year-old man’s condition overnight – he remains in hospital in a serious condition”, Durham Constabulary told Chronicle Live on Tuesday.
Huntley is serving a life sentence for the murders of 10 year old schoolgirls Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman in Soham, Cambridgeshire in 2002, whilst working as a caretaker at their school.
