SOHAM monster Ian Huntley has a topless photo in his cell of his secret girlfriend - sent to him by the besotted saddo.
To be honest after seeing a photo of the woman in question I can't help feeling that this is part of his punishment.
Still it is weird how serial killers and sexual predators get fan mail from besotted women when they're identified, I mean how low do someone's standards have to be before murderers become sexy? Why not go a step up and forge a relationship with a tramp or an MP?

I learned from last night's QI that this even has a name - Hybristophilia (aka Bonnie & Clyde Syndrome)
Well, that bloke from Slade got engaged to Rose West, so I don't think it's entirely a vagina thing, thankyouverymuch.
Jill- Wow I'd never heard of that! That's extraordinary- and yes you're right that it isn't a vagina thing. Most of the people writing to killers will be female but that's because most killers are male.
Yaffle- never knew that, although the Sun's description of "besotted saddo" is just as useful.
Don Powell of Slade suffers from severe short term memory loss after a car crash mid 1973 in which his girlfriend of the time was killed. So I think he can be forgiven for being a little "confused".
Some women have the hots for bad guys though don't they? In the 30s your upper crust got soggy knickers over Mussolini or Stalin. Nowadays it's Allah whilst the lower orders go for death row inmates.
"I learned from last night's QI that this even has a name - Hybristophilia..."
I've always found 'utter derangement' to work equally as well..
"Some women have the hots for bad guys though don't they?"
Sadly, that seems to be true. And it isn't even a modern phenomenon. Ted Bundy got offers of marriage!
Most women try to reform their man. What makes these women different is their degree of confidence.
At last, a surefire way of attracting women. All that money I've been wasting on pheremone sprays.
JW- Just kill a few hitch hikers and you will be a babe magnet.
BR- It wasn't Don Powell who was hooking up with Rose West but someone who only joined in the late 1990s (ie long after Noddy Holder had left).
Dons patent amateur trick-cycling helmet...
Admirers of the likes of Mussolini or Uncle Joe are just normal healthy if morally flexible women who are attracted to alpha males who can bring home the woolly mammoth steaks regularly and protect them and their babies.
As to the Huntley case, I think TDK has the measure of it. It's a narcissistic perversion of the maternal instinct. The sad bint visualizes Huntley as an errant little boy she can guide back to the light.
Us blokes are much more straightforward of course. Our approach is "If it looks fit enough to produce decent progeny, catch it, impregnate it and then look for the next one."
As the meerkat puts it...
Tramps have principles.
"Sadly, that seems to be true. And it isn't even a modern phenomenon."
And not a day after I commented thusly, voilà !
"The sad bint visualizes Huntley as an errant little boy she can guide back to the light."
*ponders how Huntley views HER*
*shudders*
