Britain's most dangerous prisoner is kept in a glass box under Wakefield Prison

True-crime fans have another documentary they can binge watch on TV and it's a grizzly tale.
Crime+Investigation's eight-part series tells the disturbing history of Britain's most dangerous prisoner, Robert Maudsley.

The serial killer has been locked in solitary confinement for more than four decades and won't ever be freed from his glass box underneath Wakefield Prison.


For several years, he kept himself out of trouble but in 1977 he and fellow prisoner, David Cheeseman, barricaded themselves in a cell with convicted child molester, David Francis.
For nine hours they tortured Francis in the most brutal way with Maudsley at one point ramming a spoon through his ear and into his brain, earning him the name 'Hannibal the Cannibal'.

On July 29, 1978, he garroted and stabbed wife killer Salney Darwood in his cell and hid his body under the bed.

Maudsley then stalked the prison wing for his next victim and attacked Bill Roberts, who had been jailed for sexually assaulting a seven-year-old girl.
He stabbed Roberts to death before hacking at his skull with a makeshift dagger and when he was certain Roberts was dead, he calmly walked up to a prison guard and told him there would be two less for dinner that night.
