Despite being eager to please, he was untidy and had problems managing his staff.Heated discussions on the subject would often end with him storming out in tears. The immaculate way that Ms Carr kept the house was not reflected in Mr Huntley's work. The jury of seven women and five men has been told that Mr Huntley is unlikely to deny that the girls died while in the house in College Close.After police checks were carried out, Mr Huntley was offered the job, in charge of three other workers, and Ms Carr - who denies two counts of assisting an offender and one of conspiracy to pervert the course of justice - could often be seen helping him out with his chores.But Ms Bryden said that the apparently idyllic scenario began to fray. I took that he meant children are going to be around but they are not my business when carrying out my duties."Ms Bryden, embarrassed by the filthy state in which the last caretaker had left the cottage in the grounds, told the young couple that it would be fully renovated before they started their new life there.Months later it was in these newly painted and carpeted rooms, according to the prosecution, that Mr Huntley murdered Holly and Jessica.

He also said he knew his duties would be involved with children but he had a job to do and he would not be involved with any of the children. Introducing Ms Carr as the woman he planned to marry, he gave every impression of respectability.The following day Ms Bryden, with the principal and one of the governors, asked him what he would do if a young girl was attracted to him. Ms Bryden said: "Huntley gave a very, very specific reply that he would report either to myself, as his line manager, or to the principal if anything was untoward. The night before his interview in November 2001, he was asked to go to the school to do some practical tasks and Ms Bryden said that she was impressed with his enthusiastic manner. Ian had a very sensible approach to it - someone who was going to get married and was very level headed."As the Old Bailey trial entered its ninth day, the jury was offered an insight into the young man who had gone to Soham, Cambridgeshire, from Grimsby and the tumultuous relationship he had with his partner, Maxine Carr, 26.Using his mother's maiden name of Nixon, Mr Huntley - whose father held the same post at a primary school near by - was shortlisted from a host of applicants for the job of site manager at the college. Asked how he would behave if he found himself the focus of a young girl's attentions, he insisted that he would report the matter immediately, a promise he was to keep when the situation arose just weeks before he was arrested and accused of the murder of Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman in August last year, the court was told.Young for the post and with little experience, Mr Huntley, who said that he was looking forward to settling down and starting a family with his fianc? appeared the ideal candidate Ms Bryden said: "I was delighted.

The Vice-Principal of Soham Village College told the Old Bailey yesterday that she was delighted with Ian Huntley, who applied to replace a caretaker sacked for having an ''inappropriate relationship'' with a girl of 13. Margaret Bryden said senior staff and governors at Soham Village College submitted candidates to a stringent interrogation.Mr Huntley, 29, offered exemplary answers to their questions. As well are being popular among diplomats, some footballers and celebrities have sent their children to the school.. The pupil from the other school is believed to have gathered a gang to mount an attack on the Lyc?pupil. The two seriously injured pupils were friends of the intended victim.About 75 per cent of pupils at the Lyc?are French, although many have Anglo-French parents. There are all sorts of rumours going around and we are still trying to get to the bottom of it.''Although the police were still trying to establish the motive for the attack, he believed its roots lay in a dispute between a male pupil at the Lyc?and a boy at another school over a girl.
