“HANNIBAL” killer Robert Maudsley is locked in a glass cage underground – but his brother says he’ll never show remorse.
Maudsley, 70, killed three people in prison while serving a life sentence for murder.
Since his behind-bars rampage in 1983, Maudsley has racked up the world record for the longest spell in solitary confinement.
Four prison officers guard the serial killer whenever he leaves his special 14ft by 18ft glass cell in the basement of HMP Wakefield.
Maudsley’s brother Kevin said the twisted killer will never show remorse – because he’s “happy” in the cell.
Kevin told the Mail: “He’d rather be on his own than in the normal prison.
“He’s settled in – he wouldn’t want to move. He just likes it. He seems happy enough in there.”
Kevin, 71, told how he visits his brother once a month – talking through metal doors while sat in the cell next door.
Maudsley, from Toxteth in Liverpool, was first locked up for killing builder John Farrell in 1974.
He handed himself into police and was sent to Broadmoor hospital – where he took another inmate hostage and tortured him to death.
The prisoner was found with a spoon lodged in his head, which had been “cracked open like a boiled egg”.
A guard then falsely claimed Maudsley had eaten part of the victim’s brain, earning him the nickname “Hannibal”.
Maudsley was convicted of manslaughter and sent to Wakefield prison, known as Monster Mansion.
He soon went on another bloody rampage, slaughtering two lags in one day in 1978.
Maudsley strangled inmate Salney Darwood before stabbing him with a knife made from a soup spoon.
He then attacked prisoner William Roberts, smashing his head against a wall before using the spoon to prise open his skull.
The brute then calmly walked into the wing office, where he told guards: “There’ll be two short on the roll call.”
Maudsley now spends 23 hours a day his specially-built cell after he was officially classed Britain’s most dangerous prisoner.
The killer is banned from having contact with other lags – but is said to have had run-ins with the infamous Charles Bronson.
He is currently Britain’s longest-serving inmate after the death of Moors Murderer Ian Brady.
