Robert Maudsley

Robert John Maudsley is an English serial killer. Maudsley killed four people, with three of the killings taking place in prison after receiving a life sentence for a murder. Initial reports falsely stated he ate part of the brain of one of the 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 been the longest-serving British prisoner and the earliest person still living to be subject to a whole life order.
