The Prison Service is facing questions after it emerged that Soham murderer Ian Huntley had again attempted suicide.
It was the third recorded attempt by the murderer to take his own life and a Prison Service spokeswoman said an investigation into the incident will now be launched.
Mark Leech, editor of the Prisons Handbook, said: "This is a dreadful story for the Prison Service and a huge embarrassment for them, particularly as Huntley is the highest possible security category.
"It is going to require some heads to be banged together to sort this out - they really must get to grips with it because this is not the first time, by any means, that Huntley has tried to take his own life. If necessary any medication should be given by injection."
Huntley received hospital treatment following the failed suicide attempt. It is believed that the killer had taken an overdose of prescription medication at Wakefield high security prison.
A Prison Service spokeswoman confirmed Huntley had received medical care before being transferred back to the prison. She refused to say where he had been taken for treatment.
