Huntley, who killed ten-year-olds Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman in 2002, remains in an induced coma after his skull was crushed with a 3ft metal pole at HMP Frankland, Co Durham.
Lynda made the 175-mile car journey from her home to his bedside after surgeons operated on him.

He remains in an induced coma after Thursday’s attack and is the only patient on the ward, which was cleared and shut down ahead of his arrival.
He is being guarded by armed police with senior justice officials also present.
Lynda and her friend were said to be shocked by the extent of his injuries, which include a broken jaw, massive brain injuries and skull fractures.
Huntley is also breathing only with the help of ventilator as he remains on life support at a hospital which we are not naming.
