An 18-year-old serving 52 years for the brutal murders of three girls back in July will now face extremely harsh conditions in prison after a scalding attack on Thursday at HMP Belmarsh, South East London.
Reports suggest that the teenager, Rudakubana, could be moved to a new, more secure facility as early as today. The attack has raised major concerns about his safety and the safety of prison staff, with insiders revealing he will be treated in an almost “Hannibal Lecter” manner. For context, the infamous character from The Silence of the Lambs was held in solitary confinement under the tightest possible security measures. A source familiar with the situation said, “They will treat Rudakubana much more severely. It will not be far off Hannibal Lecter because they will take no chances”, reported the Sun.
