According to reports, taxpayers may be footing the bill for Maxine Carr's Christmas festivities this year. Carr, who was once in a relationship with convicted murderer Ian Huntley, has been under the protection of the state since her release from prison in 2004. However, it seems that she has requested financial assistance from the government in order to make her holiday season "happy and stress-free".
The cost of Carr's Christmas celebrations reportedly came to at least £500, covering everything from food and drinks to a microwave and decorations. In addition to this, she has been receiving round-the-clock police protection, which has reportedly cost millions. The public has also funded £8,000 worth of dental work and various plastic surgeries, including a breast augmentation, to change Carr's appearance.
Back in 2008, it was revealed that Carr had received a Christmas bonus of £1,000. This may seem like a lot of money, but it pales in comparison to the millions that have been spent on her protection and personal expenses. Meanwhile, Huntley remains behind bars, serving a life sentence for the murders of 10-year-old schoolgirls Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman.
Carr's involvement in the case dates back to August 2002, when she was arrested for lying to the police about Huntley's whereabouts on the day the girls went missing. She claimed to have been at home in the bath, while in reality she was miles away in her hometown of Grimsby. The girls' bodies were eventually found 10 miles away from Soham, Cambridgeshire, where Huntley worked as a school caretaker.
Despite her role in the case, Carr joined in the search for the missing girls and even spoke to the press about their disappearance. It was later revealed that Huntley had returned to the site where he had dumped the bodies to try and destroy any evidence, including their distinctive Manchester United shirts. Carr was sentenced to three-and-a-half years in prison for perverting the course of justice.
Upon her release from prison in 2004, Carr was given a new identity and has since been moved to over 10 different safe houses. In 2011, she gave birth to her first child, a son, in a secret location. Despite her past, she has managed to form a serious relationship with a man who knows about her history. As of 2014, she was said to be living in a small seaside town.
In the end, it seems that the taxpayers are not only responsible for Carr's safety and well-being, but also for her holiday celebrations. While she may argue that the state has a "duty of care" towards her, many may question whether it is fair for taxpayers to continue footing the bill for someone who has been convicted of perverting the course of justice.
