    The next episode of Maxine will be airing tonight at 9pm on Channel 5, a drama that catalogues the Soham Murders through the eyes of school assistant Maxine Carr.<\/p>\n

    She was Ian Huntley\u2019s girlfriend and after the bodies of his victims were discovered, Maxine covered for him by claiming she was with him that night.<\/p>\n

    However, she was instead on a night out in Grimsby town centre, with photos of the booze-up exposing her deception.<\/p>\n

    It led to Hunley\u2019s alibi crumbling, which subsequently saw him sentenced for his inhuman crimes.<\/p>\n

    Here is the full story of the night out that led to Ian Huntley\u2019s imprisonment.<\/p>\n

    What did Ian Huntley do?<\/h3>\n

    <\/p>\n

    Ian Huntley is one of the UK\u2019s most notorious killers who carried out the murders of two school children back in 2002.<\/p>\n

    He took the lives of schoolgirls and best friends Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman, both 10 years old.<\/p>\n

    Huntley knew the children through his fianc\u00e9e, Maxine Carr, who worked in their school as an assistant and ultimately provided him with a false alibi.<\/p>\n

    Who was Maxine Carr?<\/h3>\n

    <\/p>\n

    Carr was born in Grimsby, Lincolnshire in 1977 and went on to be an assistant at St Andrew's primary school.<\/p>\n

    She took the position in the spring of 2002 but was jailed for giving false alibi for Huntley.<\/p>\n

    The pair met in a nightclub in Grimsby in 1999 and according to Carr, she was \u201cinstantly attracted\u201d to his confident persona.<\/p>\n

    They started dating and in 2001, Huntley took on a new job in Soham Village Cottage and moved into a home that came with the job.<\/p>\n

    Carr moved with him and took on her teaching assistant position in the local school.<\/p>\n

    What happened during the Grimsby night out?<\/h3>\n

    Following Huntley\u2019s murders, Carr told police she was with him on the night the two girls disappeared.<\/p>\n

    Thirteen days went by before the girls' bodies were eventually found, and over the course of that nearly two-week period, Carr doubled down on her lie that she was with Huntley.<\/p>\n

    Because of this, police ruled out Huntley as a suspect at first, with Carr even saying to the press at the time: "I only wish we had asked them where they were going … if only we knew then what we know. Then we could have stopped them or done something about it."<\/p>\n
