Aaron Nicholls (born 1979) is a British murderer who was sentenced to life imprisonment in 1999 for the murder of his 12-year-old girlfriend, Lauren Carhart. He poured barbecue fuel on her and threw matches at her until she caught on fire. Nicholls is also the prime suspect for providing Ian Huntley with anti-depressants for his suicide attempt in September 2006. He did this reportedly in exchange for a taped confession from Huntley, which Nicholls planned later to sell to the tabloid newspaper. The plan failed however when Huntley's suicide bid was unsuccessful and the tape was found during a search of his cell afterwards.
