Ian Huntley bought Xbox game with chilling name which was delivered to prison 3 days after he died
SOHAM killer Ian Huntley bought an Xbox game called Dark Souls: Prepare to Die — which was delivered to prison three days after his death.
Huntley had ordered the macabre fantasy video title before he was attacked with a metal pole in a jail workshop last month.

And it arrived on Tuesday this week, three days after Huntley died in hospital from injuries suffered in the beating.
A source said: “No one could believe it when it came into the prison on Tuesday.
“It was obviously the last thing he ordered and then it still arrived into the jail despite Huntley being killed.
“A lot of inmates heard it was on the delivery list and could not stop talking about it. Many were cracking sick jokes about it.
“They were commenting on the irony of it — and whether Huntley had a premonition about it or something.
“A couple of them even asked if they could have the game, but there are strict rules protecting a prisoner’s property when they die.”
In the game, players fight battles and collect souls and have to upgrade weapons to stay alive.
We revealed Huntley’s Xbox had been taken from him in January after contraband was found in his cell.
But he is understood to have won it back after behaving in the run-up to his death, aged 52.
Huntley, whose murder of pals Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman in Soham, Cambs, in 2002 horrified Britain, was bludgeoned in a brutal attack at HMP Frankland, County Durham, on Thursday, February 26.
He was left in an induced coma as he was treated at Newcastle’s Royal Victoria Infirmary.
But doctors, who consulted with Huntley’s mum Lynda Richards, switched off his life support and he died last Saturday.
Frankland inmate Anthony Russell, 43, is accused of murder.
