The Soham murders were the murders by Ian Huntley of two ten-year-old girls Holly Wells (born October 4 1991) and Jessica Chapman (born September 1 1991) in Soham, a small town in Cambridgeshire, England, on August 4, 2002.
Huntley, who also used his mother's maiden name of Nixon, was the caretaker at the local secondary school, Soham Village College, at the time of the murders. He was then living with his girlfriend, Maxine Carr, who was a teaching assistant at Holly and Jessica's school, St Andrew's Primary.
On the day of the murders, at around 6pm, Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman walked past Huntley's rented house in College Close. Huntley asked them to come into the house. He said that Carr was in the house as well, since she had got along well with them, although in fact she had gone to visit family back in Grimsby. Shortly after Wells and Chapman entered 5 College Close, Huntley murdered them.
