A day in the life of ‘Hannibal the Cannibal’: Serial killer speaks from behind bars at maximum security prison for first time in 40 YEARS. Read it exclusively in The Crime Desk newsletter

In addition to the horrific murders he committed behind bars, the prison life of ‘Hannibal the Cannibal’ serial killer Robert Maudsley is also shrouded in mystery.

There were rumors that he was locked in a specially made plastic cell with cardboard furniture to prevent him from producing weapons. But these have never been proven.

Guards are said to be afraid of him and inmates wary, but his family now knows him as ‘Uncle Bob’, an elderly victim of the oppressive prison system.

Little is known about Maudsley’s current regime, who is incarcerated in a maximum security prison in a special unit for the country’s most troubled criminals.

That is, until now.

In a bombshell exclusive report on The Crime Desk, an audio recording of Maudsley’s first conversation from behind bars in forty years is revealed, revealing a day in the life of one of Britain’s most dangerous men.
