Spoof backfires
BBC radio presenter Jeremy Vine apologised after his show ran a spoof news bulletin that Soham killer Ian Huntley had been murdered. Rumours spread that Huntley, 31, had died and journalists put in calls to the Home Office and police. Police called it "irresponsible" and said it had to inform Holly and Jessica's parents that the story wasn't true. Huntley is serving life in Wakefield jail for killing the 10-year-olds in 2002.
