Southport killer Axel Rudakubana 'allowed to buy treats in prison such as Maltesers and crisps' despite throwing scorching water over a prison guard in horror attack
Proper news from Britain - News from Britain you won’t find anywhere else. Not the tosh the big media force-feed you every day!
Southport killer Axel Rudakubana is allegedly allowed to buy treats in prison such as Maltesers and crisps despite throwing scorching water over a prison guard three weeks ago.
The 18-year-old triple murderer, who was sentenced to 52 years for the murders of Bebe King, six, Elsie Dot Stancome, seven, and Alice da Silva Aguiar, nine, reportedly has the treats delivered to his cell in HMP Belmarsh.
It is also claimed that he is allowed to call his family, have religious visits and receive money from relatives while in the south east London prison.
A source told The Sun that Rudakubana has been ‘spending £5.50 a week’ since he attacked the guard and is allowed to buy ‘anything he likes as long as it’s not dangerous’.
They added: ‘He’s still allowed to buy things like Maltesers and Pringles crisps if he fancies them.’
Since Rudakubana attacked the guard he has been on a ‘basic’ level of treatment behind bars meaning he no longer has access to a TV and that his time out of his cell has been restricted.
He is also said to be no longer permitted to purchase butter or baby oil which could be heated for an attack.
The source added: ‘He is mostly confined to his cell. He fills in a sheet and stuff gets delivered.
‘That means that prison officers, who are the colleagues of the guy he attacked, have to collect his canteen order and deliver it to his cell.’
Shadow Justice Secretary Robert Jenrick labelled Rudakubana a 'monster’ and said that he had such privileges was a ‘disgrace’.
Mr Jenrick added: ‘He should be stripped of them immediately, no questions asked.
‘It’s the least the victims of his horrendous crime would expect. We’ve got to regain control of prisons before an officer is killed.’
Rudakubana is also believed to have had visits from an imam, a person who leads prayers in a mosque, since his attack.
However the 18-year-old has been barred from religious events over concerns he would be targeted.
MailOnline reported earlier this month that Rudakubana's pre-planned boiling water attack left a prison guard screaming in agony.
It was feared the killer had added sugar to the scalding water in a bid to cause more severe injuries.
But it was understood that the prison officer was taken to hospital as a precautionary measure and was discharged later that day.
He is also believed to have returned to work the following week.
Rudakubana has been caged on the same secure unit as Manchester Arena terrorist, Hashem Abedi, who assaulted prison guards in HMP Frankland last month.
The Prison Service told the newspaper that it did not comment on individuals.
