Robert Muadsley, one of Britain's most notorious serial killers, has broken a world record for the most years spent in solitary confinement 😳
One of Britain’s most notorious serial killers has spent longer in solitary confinement than any other prisoner in modern history, it is understood.
His stint began more than 16,200 days ago in the summer of 1978, when he killed two fellow inmates and set out to hunt down four more on his wing. The main cell is said to measure around 18ft by 15ft, with a concrete slab for a bed and a table and chair made of cardboard.Maudsley, 69, previouisly begged to be allowed to commit suicide if his privileges weren’t increased
Reports of Maudsley’s cannibalism, which have since been established as false, were published after the inmate was found with a sharpened spoon sticking out of his skull. A year later, Maudsley garrotted and stabbed Salney Darwood, who was jailed for killing his wife, inside his cell. He spent the following decades complaining about his conditions, at one point penning a series of open letters to the press begging for classical music tapes, a TV, pictures, and a pet budgie – promising he would ‘not eat it’.In one letter, he wrote: ‘I am left to stagnate; vegetate; and to regress; left to confront my solitary head-on with people who have eyes but don’t see and who have ears but don’t hear, who have mouths but don’t speak.
