Robert Maudsley has spent four decades in solitary confinement at HMP Wakefield in Yorkshire.
A man branded one of Britain's "most dangerous prisoners" has spent 40 years locked in a bulletproof glass box below a prison dubbed 'Monster Mansion'. Serial killer
Born in Liverpool in June 1953, he was placed in care at just six months old, alongside his three older siblings, as his parents were unable to cope. The children spent nine years looked after by nuns at a Roman Catholic-run centre, before their parents got back in touch. Aged 24, Maudsley and fellow inmate David Cheeseman dragged paedophile David Francis into a room on their ward and tortured him for nine hours. In Geoffrey Wansell's book, Pure Evil, he writes: "They held his body aloft so that the staff could see him through the spyhole in the door. According to legend, Francis's body was found with his head 'cracked open like a boiled egg' and with a spoon hanging out of it.
After hiding the body under his bed, he made his way to the cell of child molester Bill Roberts, smashed his head against a will, and prised his skull open with a knife. He then walked into a guard's office, placed the knife on the table, and said that there would be "two short when it came to the next roll call".
"But when we were communicating, I could understand why he did what he did. If you didn't know him and what he'd done, and you saw him in the bar... he's a really intelligent, clever guy, who made you smile. He'd talk about everyday things. Maudsley is different ."
