SOHAM child killer Ian Huntley has had his red Manchester United-style shirt seized by jail bosses — after The Sun revealed he was strutting around in it.
Officers stormed into his cell and confiscated the top, which has a white No 10 on the back in an apparent sick reference to his schoolgirl victims.

We told yesterday how lags had complained about the top — similar to ones worn by ten-year-olds Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman on the day he murdered them in 2002.
Guards also seized framed pictures of Huntley with ex Maxine Carr plus other items including DVDs.
And source said: “They turned over Huntley’s cell and confiscated the shirt.
“He won’t be getting it back and has been warned about his vile behaviour.
“The raid was a proper one. They went through all his belongings.
“People had also complained about the Maxine Carr pictures being inappropriate.
“It was like he was revelling in what happened.
“Huntley was moaning that he was being picked on and treated unfairly.
“But neither the staff or other inmates had any sympathy and are pleased he can no longer taunt his victims and others by wearing the shirt.
“It is about time he was treated a bit more harshly in jail.”
Sources said Justice Secretary Shabana Mahmood had been made aware of Huntley’s shirt — and was happy bosses had now seized it.
Cons at Co Durham’s HMP Frankland, where Huntley is serving two life sentences with a 40-year minimum term, had complained he was “strutting about” in the top.
Pals Holly and Jessica were wearing matching Man Utd shirts when they were snatched and killed by school caretaker Huntley in a crime that horrified Britain and which Carr helped him to cover up.
A snap of Holly and Jessica in Man Utd shirts – taken on the day Huntley lured them into his house – was the last haunting image of them.
Huntley, now 51, is believed to have ordered the plain red sports top, with a white number on the back, from Sports Direct.
Prisoners are barred from wearing replica shirts of teams as they can cause conflict. But sources said Huntley had made his top as close to a Man Utd one as he could.
One told The Sun: “Prisoners saw him wearing it when he was being taken to the gym. They shouted that he was a sick b***ard. But he just gave them a thumbs-up.”
The Prison Service said: “We cannot comment on individuals.”
