IT was a chilling crime which shocked the nation, and 15 years on, the murder of Jessica Chapman and Holly Wells at the hands of evil Ian Huntley will be revisited in a new documentary.
Soham Revisited: 15 Years On features interviews with some of the women who lived with the school caretaker-turned-killer, who took the lives of the two 10-year-old girls in August 2002.
Here's everything you need to know about the documentary.
When is Soham Revisited: 15 Years On on Channel 5 and what is it about?
Soham Revisited: 15 Years On will re-examine the events that took place in the small Cambridgeshire town in August 2002 which horrified the country.
In December 2003, Ian Huntley, a caretaker at Soham Village College, was convicted of murdering 10-year-old best friends Jessica Chapman and Holly Wells, and jailed for life.
The new documentary will look at, among other things, the search for his victims, Huntley’s arrest, and his subsequent trial and conviction.
It airs on Channel 5 tonight, Tuesday April 25 at 9pm.
What happened to Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman and how was Ian Huntley caught?
Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman were reported missing on Sunday, August 4, 2002, after going to a family barbecue.
They had gone out to buy some sweets and on the way home walked past Huntley’s house.
He asked them to come into his home and was later found guilty of killing them both.
Their bodies were not found until more than a week later, 12 miles from Soham near an RAF base on August 17.
Huntley was arrested and he was eventually convicted in 2003 of the girls’ murder and sentenced to two terms of life imprisonment.
A High Court later set a minimum term of 40 years in jail.
Who appears in Soham Revisited to talk about Ian Huntley?
The documentary will feature the first ever TV interview with Ian Huntley's ex-girlfriend, Emma Fish.
Emma was 15 when Huntley targeted her for grooming before moving her into his house as his live-in lover.
She recalled the moment when she later told him she was pregnant, saying: "He got me by the throat and said 'if you spoil this for me I'll kill you.'
"Social services asked me if we were sleeping together, I had to say no. Obviously I had words put in my mouth by Ian."
Do any of Ian Huntley's relatives appear in the documentary?
Ian Huntley's daughter Samantha Bryan, talks about how she will never call the killer "dad" in the documentary, after making the shocking discovery he was her father when she was 14.
Sam is the child of Huntley's ex Katie Bryan, who - like Emma Fish - was just 15 when the killer groomed her and moved her into his home before raping her.
Having made the horrifying discovery during a school project, Sam said: "I was extremely upset, I didn’t really know what to think.
“I wasn’t angry at my mum for not telling me what he’d done because at that age I wouldn’t want my children to know that.
"He doesn’t even deserve to be known or called my biological father and he will never deserve to be called Dad.”
