Robert Maudsley

Robert Maudsley

Robert John Maudsley (born 26 June 1953) is a British serial killer responsible for the murders of four people. He committed three of these murders in prison after receiving a life sentence for a single murder. He was alleged to have eaten part of the brain of one of three men he killed in prison, which earned him the nickname Hannibal the Cannibal among the British press and “The Brain Eater” amongst other prisoners; however, the Press Complaints Commission records that national newspapers were subsequently advised that the allegations were untrue, according to the autopsy report. Since the death of Ian Brady, Maudsley has become the longest-serving British prisoner and the earliest person still living to be subject to a whole life order.  ...more on Wikipedia
