The former school caretaker charged with the murders of schoolgirls Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman has been deemed fit to stand trial after assessment by doctors. Ian Huntley, 28, was remanded in custody until 15 November when his case is listed to be heard at Norwich Crown Court, alongside his girlfriend Maxine Carr who is accused of attempting to pervert the course of justice. Ten-year-olds Holly and Jessica disappeared from the Cambridgeshire village of Soham on 4 August, sparking a major police hunt. Their bodies were discovered 13 days later near Lakenheath, Suffolk, just eight miles from their homes. Mr Huntley faces two counts of murder and a charge of conspiring to pervert the course of justice, but has yet to enter any pleas. He arrived at Peterborough Crown Court on Tuesday morning in a van flanked by three police escort cars.
