CHILD murder suspect Ian Huntley has a new chum in prison Chingford's most notorious multiple killer, Richard Fielding.

The two struck up a friendship while Huntley was being assessed by psychologists in Rampton secure mental unit, where Fielding is being held indefinitely for the manslaughter of seven people.

And Huntley has tried to keep in touch with the Chingford killer.

In a letter sent by Huntley and leaked to a Sunday paper, he told Fielding: "I promised I'd write to you...and here I am. Rampton it is not."

Huntley has been moved to Woodhill jail in Milton Keynes dubbed England's Alcatraz.

Fielding, 23, admitted lighting the fire which killed four generations of one family.

His trial in May 2000 heard that he was a paranoid schizophrenic who was convinced that his friend Lee Day, 22, was to blame for his failings in life.

Fielding was certain he was destined to become a famous disc jockey and model but in his deluded mind, Day was holding him back.

On March 6, 1999, at 12.30am he cycled to Mr Day's house in Bellamy Road, Chingford, and poured petrol through the letter box before lighting it with a match.

As well as Lee Day, Fielding also killed three-year-old twins Maddison and Rhiannon Day, Reece Day, two, Kathleen Day, 75, Sandra Day, 50, and Lee's girlfriend Yvonne Culverhouse, 17. Only his dad, Brian, survived the blaze.

Huntley, 28, told Fielding in his two-page letter that he missed their games of Scrabble. He also spoke of the harsh conditions in his new jail compared with the relative luxury of Rampton, where he had a CD player, TV and access to a swimming pool and library.

Huntley wrote: "I'm following your advice and trying to shut it all out. But it's very hard to do so.

"I seem to have made a right mess of things, and right now I wish I was back there with you."

Huntley charged with murdering schoolgirls Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman and conspiring to pervert the course of justice was transferred to Woodhill after a judge ruled he was mentally fit to face court proceedings.

In the letter he signs off: "All the best to the Crazy Gang...take care of yourself."Huntley letter to fire killerRichard Fieldings=7(c)CHILD murder suspect Ian Huntley has got a new chum in prison Chingford's most notorious multiple killer, Richard Fielding.
