	The Soham Murders and Ian Huntley
		In the cases of Whiting and Huntley, their crimes were part of a series of child abductions and murders in the south east of England, which the police had begun prosecuting before the series was allowed to reveal its character.
		This is because the police arrested Huntley for murder at 1 am on the 16th of August, and they made known the character of the evidence against him to the press at this time also, but the public did not discover the two bodies until twelve hours later, at 1 pm on that day.
		Inquests are needed for an unbiased view and record of the facts relating to a death or murder, and so inquests are needed to prevent biased or malicious presentations of facts relating to a murder.

		The publicity regarding the Soham murders was also, I feel, partially an issue of class and race.
		The media invasion of Soham, along with the large financial rewards offered by the tabloids for information, caused extra grief to the girls’ families and must have affected the other residents of the town.
		Thankfully the girls’ families have expressed the wish for the funerals to be strictly private affairs and have asked both the media and the public not to attend.

		The tragic story of the murders in Soham in 2002 is an emotive one, and a story which captured the imagination of not just the United Kingdom.
		That is, in a murder investigation, you know very early on who did it — as Miss Marple does; she gets them all in her library and tells them who did it.
		Had the murders we're talking about today not happened in Cambridgeshire, but in West Midlands, in Birmingham, or in London, it would have been much easier, because the resources are much easier to mobilise and organise and so on.

		A particularly barbaric murder of two ten-year old girls in a small town called Soham 30 miles away from Cambridge has gripped the attention of the British Isles.
		Yet despite their expression of "sadness" and "distress" at the Soham murders, there is no sign that Britain's political elite, with the honourable exception of Ann Widdecombe, are even prepared to debate the issue.
		All true liberals and humanitarians should be calling for its restoration so that the punishment inflicted for grave crimes like the Soham murders "adequately reflect the revulsion felt by the great majority of citizens for them".
