Infamous British murderer Ian Huntley is serving a life sentence for murdering a pair of ten-year-old girls in 2002. Since being in prison he's attempted to commit suicide three times and has to be kept in the prison's medical ward. Prison officials are so worried about future suicide attempts that they acquiesced to Huntley's request to be... given a Nintendo Wii?
A jail source said: "Huntley has been asking for a Wii for months.
"When he moved to Frankland in February he was given a Nintendo Game Cube - but after only a few weeks he began complaing it was out of date.
"Management are desperate to stop him going though with threats he's made to kill himself and by giving him a Wii they believe they can take his mind away from harming himself in any way."
The wardens are expected to play Wii Sports with him and try to be friendly to him, which is the point at which this story descends into utter insanity for me.
