Killer Cop Wayne Couzens ‘Fears He’s Next’ After Ian Huntley 'Blinded in Jail Attack'

Ian Huntley remains critically injured after a brutal attack in HMP Frankland, raising fears that former officer Wayne Couzens is now the top target for prison retribution.

  • On February 26, Ian Huntley was assaulted at HMP Frankland and remains in critical condition after severe brain trauma, on life support.
  • Couzens, a former Metropolitan Police officer convicted of murdering Sarah Everard, is housed on the same VP unit and is 'absolutely petrified,' a source told The Sun.
  • Prison sources say Anthony Russell allegedly struck Huntley up to 15 times with a 3ft spiked metal pole inside the prison recycling workshop; Huntley suffered severe brain trauma and eye injuries and remains critically ill.
  • A source told The Sun that 'Couzens is absolutely petrified and is barely coming out of his cell', and the attack has sent shockwaves through HMP Frankland with other high-profile inmates increasingly worried.
  • Past prison killings and inmate reprisals, including the Ian Watkins death, highlight broader safety issues at HMP Frankland, nicknamed 'Monster Mansion', amid concerns after the Huntley attack.
