Hannibal Lecter-Style Security for Southport Killer After Prison Assault

Southport Killer Faces Increased Security After Alleged Prison Assault Southport killer Axel Rudakubana is facing stricter security measures after allegedly throwing boiling water at a prison officer at HMP Belmarsh. The incident has prompted authorities to consider transferring Rudakubana to a higher-security prison in the North of England or to HMP Cambridge. Under the new security protocols, Rudakubana will be fed through a hatch and escorted by five guards at all times. A source described the measures as "Hannibal Lecter-style" security, highlighting the extreme precautions being taken. "This is not a situation we take lightly," said a prison spokesperson, who declined to comment further on the specifics of the security measures. "The safety and security of our staff is our utmost priority." The alleged assault adds another layer of complexity to Rudakubana's case, already marked by the high-profile nature of his original crime. The increased security measures underscore the seriousness of the situation and the determination of authorities to prevent further incidents. The transfer to a new prison is still under consideration, but the implementation of enhanced security measures at HMP Belmarsh demonstrates a swift response to the alleged assault and a commitment to ensuring the safety of prison staff.
