Maxine Carr seeks taxpayer support for Christmas celebrations after prison release

Maxine Carr, the ex-girlfriend of Ian Huntley, is reportedly enjoying a Christmas funded by taxpayers. Since her release from prison, she has requested state support for a Santa outfit and a Christmas party, costing at least £500. Carr, who received lifelong anonymity after lying to police about Huntley during the 2002 murder case of two schoolgirls, has also benefited from extensive police protection and public funding for dental work and cosmetic surgery. Huntley is serving a life sentence for the murders, while Carr was jailed for three-and-a-half years for perverting justice. She has been relocated multiple times since her release in 2004.
