Everyone who saw «The silence of the innocents» And remember the main character, Hannibal Lecter, You can start shaking.

Is that character exists in real life. His name is Robert Maudsley and they were inspired to create that ruthless murderer on the big screen.

But now breathe calm. Maudsley has been locked in an underground glass cage for 42 years Under the Wakefield prison, in England. It will never be released.

There is so much its danger that the English authorities created a special cell for him: a glass cage, similar to that of Hannibal Lecter in the film. It is barely 5.5 meters long and 4.5 half wide. With huge bullet test windows where it is guarded 23 hours a day by armed guards.

The remaining time Go to a patio to exercise, accompanied by 6 armed guards And without another prisoner in the place.

How is this pronovated prison? There are only A table and a chair Manufactured of compressed cardboard and the toilet and a sink tightly fixed to the ground.

Hannibal Lecter's character, from the film

Maudsley’s bed is concrete and the door is made of solid steel. The cage is surrounded by thick Transparent acrylic panels And it only has a small opening where the guards pass the food.

Tragic childhood, drugs and prostitution

What did this fierce criminal do to be the most guarded murderer on the planet?

Maudsley was born in Toxteth, a town near Liverpool in June 1953. His parents abandoned him at birth and ended in a Catholic orphanage of Mersyside with three of his 11 brothers. But at 8 years their parents, to collect the maintenance insurance of their children, took them home. Hell.

Maudsley in his childhood, in the orphanage.

Mother addicted to cocaine and alcoholic father. That was its greatest torment. The man abused the child and subjected him to brutal beatings. To the point of ending it in a room.

I would already declare: “What I remember most about those moments were the beatings. Once I was locked in my room by six months. My father only opened the door to hit and rape me. I think I did between four and six times per day. Once he broke a compressed air rifle on my back. ”

At 16 he was taken to a minors center. He had grown up and his father feared to kill him after so many torture he had inflicted. There, the future criminal was made Addicted cocaine and marijuana. And to be able to achieve drugs He dedicated himself to prostitution.

Maudsley writing in his cell before being locked underground.

Three times he tried to commit suicide and told the psychologists who attended him that I heard voices with a single message: «You have to kill your parents.» His parents were saved. Others not.

His crimes

At 21 he arranged with A pedophile, John Farrel, to have sex. When he showed photos of children he had abused, Maudsley was transformed. He got tired of hitting him and He ended up strangling him. They caught him.

He was sentenced to life imprisonment for murder and psychological expertise were unanimous: “It should never be released. If they do it will kill again and again «.

Maudsley talking to some journalists before being locked underground.

Maudsley was declared not suitable for being judged Due to an alleged psychosis at the time of murder and ended at the high -security psychiatric hospital in Broadmoor.

A couple of years in that place caused their psychic problems to be accentuated. In 1977, accompanied by another inmate, they locked David Cheeseman in his cell, who was condemned by pedophilia.

For nine hours they tortured him with the most atrocious methods. It was his second murder and they could no longer have it there. It should be transferred to a safer place.

That place was wakefield, called The «Monstrous Mansion» Because all his detainees were the most dangerous murderers in England.

But no one could with Wakefield. It was 1978 and his first victim in the place was Salaney Darwood, who was there convicted by torture his wife.

Wakefield took him to his cell, shattered his face and then stabbed him about 90 times. He went to look for other prisoners to invite them to his cell and they all refused, until he found Bill Roberts, imprisoned for rape a 7 -year -old girl.

The cell where he killed Bill Roberts and ate part of the brain.

Maudsley killed him nailing a spoon in his ear. He opened the cranial cover and He ate part of the brain. From that moment on it became «Hannibal, El Caníbal». With past tranquility he approached a guard and said: «Tonight there will be two less at dinner.»

With four murders in tow and thirst for more blood, the authorities began to build the cage where they would locate it. AND There he entered in 1983.

He is the British who has been in isolation in the history of the United Kingdom and at that time showed his passions: Classical music, reading, art and poetry. Everything copied to the movie Hannibal. And they copied something else: he has a Intellectual coefficient far superior to the average.

Maudsley's cell is very similar to that of the film

During these 42 years He asked for several permits.

In 2000 he requested a reduction of the deadline that should be in isolation. He was rejected. In 2010 he asked for board games to practice them with the guards. He was rejected. Then he asked for a parrot with which to speak. He was rejected. And so countless times. All orders ended in the garbage basket.

But something obtained: una PlayStation 2 And in 2017, for his 64th birthday, they gave him “Call of Duty”, A war game.

It is so much the horror it causes, that during The first 12 years In his cage no hairdresser from the United Kingdom wanted to cut his hair For terror To something happened to them.

In 2003, his first statements that reached the public were known: “The prison authorities see me as a problem, and their solution has been put on lonely confinement and throw the key, Burry alive in a concrete coffin. They don’t care if I’m angry or bad. They do not know the answer and do not care as long as they keep me out of sight and of the mind. They let me stagnate, vegetar and go back; Facing my lonely confrontation with people who have eyes but do not see and who have ears but do not hear, they have mouths but do not speak. My solo life is a long period of uninterrupted depression. ”

And in the only and brief interview with the exterior he said: «If I had killed my parents In 1970 no more person would have died. I have no hope for anything, I have nothing to expect. No officer is interested in me and only worries that when they open the door I return to my cell as soon as possible. I think an officer could stop and talk a little, but they never do it and it is in these thoughts that I spend most of the time. This is like going back to my childhood, to the room in which I was locked up for months and that torments me. ”

The last known photo of Maudsley and taken in prison about 23 years ago.

He will never breathe the air in freedom again. For 43 years he is dead in life. And will go down in history as the prisoner who lived locked underground. An eternal death penalty …
