A NUMBER of "serious systems failures" at a high security jail led to Ian Huntley's suicide bid.

Home Office Minister Paul Goggins said an internal report on last week's overdose by the 29-year-old, accused of murdering schoolgirls Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman, revealed a "completely unacceptable situation".

There were calls for the man responsible for English high security prisons to resign over the bungle.

Mr Huntley was found suffering a fit on the floor of his cell at Woodhill Prison, near Milton Keynes, on June 9.
