Axel Rudakubana will get Hannibal Lecter-style security following his attack on a prison officer

He could be moved today from HMP Belmarsh, South East London, where Thursday's scalding attack took place.
A source said: 'They will treat Rudakubana much more severely. It will not be far off Hannibal Lecter because they will take no chances.'
Serial killer Lecter, played by Anthony Hopkins, was kept in a maximum- security cell in 1991 film The Silence Of The Lambs.
The source said: 'Rudakubana will only be able to open the latch on his side once the officers have shut the box and closed it on their side.
"This is a huge deal in UK jails as it is considered it dehumanises inmates.
'He will be let out of his cell only after being searched and escorted by at least five officers, who will be in PPE and could use a dog.
"The unit will be locked down each time he is moved.'
Investigators fear his attack was a bid to compete with Manchester Arena terrorist Hashem Abedi, who scalded four staff at HMP Frankland, Co Durham, weeks earlier.
The source said: 'Abedi has just been moved to Belmarsh. The timing is no coincidence.'
Rudakubana could now be moved to a prison in the North or to HMP Whitemoor, Cambs.

Russia using horror AI kamikaze drone that ‘chooses its own target' as Ukraine now faces blitz of over ‘500 every night'
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) VLADIMIR Putin has begun deploying kamikaze drones that select their own targets using AI in a fresh assault on Ukraine. The country now faces over 500 attacks every night, just days after Kharkiv was rocked overnight by a downpour of missiles. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 5 Fire and smoke rise in Ukraine following a Russian drone and missile strike Credit: Reuters 5 Kyiv is seen engulfed in flames following a Russian drone attack Credit: Reuters 5 Reports said the UAV-V2U is being used to close in on the northeastern city of Sumy, while Putin ramps up drone production and builds new launch sites. Some 70 units a day are now being made compared to just 21 last year, according to Ukraine's military intelligence. This is largely thanks to help from China, the agency has said, as the UAV is "mostly assembled from Chinese-manufactured components." Beijing has repeatedly denied supplying drones or weapon components to Russia, whilst Trump and Biden have both hit China with sanctions to stop it getting access to computer chips. Marking a new escalation in the war, the drones use camera images to navigate and AI to independently locate targets. The Defence Intelligence of Ukraine said: "The key feature of the drone is its ability to autonomously search for and select targets using artificial intelligence. "Its computing system is based on the Chinese Leetop A203 minicomputer, with a high-speed processor assembly built on the NVIDIA Jetson Orin module." This comes just hours after drones and missiles were launched at Kyiv as Russian Tu-22M3 strategic bombers were reportedly unleashed to rain hell on the infamous Snake Island in the Black Sea. Moscow launched a massive strike on Rivne using its Tu-22M3 and Tu-95MS strategic bombers to hit Dubny airbase. Squadrons of these fighter jets were targeted and destroyed last week in Kyiv's daring Operation Spiderweb. Russia bombs Kyiv killing 4 in blitz as Putin plots revenge for Op Spiderweb Another key Ukrainian military airport - Hostomel - was also attacked as Putin sought revenge for the humiliating attack. Polish armed forces command said Nato fighter jets were patrolling due to 'intensive air attack by the Russian Federation on Ukrainian territory'. Just days ago, Kharkiv was rocked overnight as 48 kamikaze drones, along with missiles and guided bombs, slammed into residential areas, according to the city's mayor. 'We have a lot of damage,' Ihor Terekhov said. More than 50 explosions rocked Kharkiv, with the mayor adding it was 'the most powerful attack' on the city of the 39-month war. In the latest terror strikes on civilians, 18 multi-story buildings and 13 private houses were hit and damaged. In Kyiv, a dramatic tower block video filmed by a resident showed the terror of another Putin strike on civilians as flames from the exploding drone shot some 80ft up the building. Three were killed and at least 21 wounded, including a six-weeks-old baby, and a 14-year-old girl. A woman, 26, trapped under a slab of concrete was eventually freed three hours after the strike, and was seen being stretchered to an ambulance. Ukraine's foreign minister Andrii Sybiha described how hundreds of drones and missiles "rained down" on his country overnight. He wrote in a social media post: "Kharkiv had a particularly terrible night. "People were injured and killed, and the energy infrastructure was also damaged." Sybiha added there were further strikes in the Donetsk, Dnipro, Ternopil and Odesa regions. 5 The Kursk region after being struck by a Russian drone attack Credit: Reuters

The officer would have been sacked had he not quit KEYS-CON COPS 'Deceptive' cop who weighed down laptop keys to make it look like he was working barred from policing Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A COP who weighed down laptop keys to make it look like he was working from home was barred from policing. PC Liam Reakes's actions cost his force more than 100 hours. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Reakes admitted opening a blank Word document and holding down the Z key for long periods Credit: Getty Concerns were raised about his efforts before a September 2024 audit of keystrokes flagged his total as much higher than others doing similar jobs. Reakes would have been sacked had he not quit in Yeovil, Somerset. A panel found he committed gross misconduct. Reakes did not attend the hearing. He admitted opening a blank Word document and holding down the Z key for long periods. He denyied this was to give a false impression he was working from home. Det Supt Larisa Hunt said: 'PC Reakes was the subject of an action plan and was allocated a tutor due to concerns over his performance prior to the keyboard audit being carried out. 'The use of any device or system to replicate keyboard activity is wholly wrong and deceptive and the public will be rightly outraged at this behaviour. 'Not only has he let down those he made a commitment to serve and protect but he's also let down his colleagues, who are continuing to deal with significant pressure and workloads.'

The woman, 23, said Mitchell Kennedy, 42, told her he'd be going away to help another female get pregnant. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Mitchell Kennedy is accused of raping his partner after she tried to dump him 2 Kennedy is on trial at the High Court in Aberdeen Credit: PA But she claimed he attacked her after she invited him round to her flat in Aberdeen so she could break up with him. She said Kennedy pinned her against a wardrobe before he stripped her naked then took his own clothes off. The woman told the city's High Court: 'He started to kiss me on my neck and on the top of my chest. 'He picked me up and took me to the bed. He ended up on top of me. I didn't want that. 'I told him 'No' multiple times. He didn't say anything at all. He just kept going.' The woman testified she met Kennedy on social media. But his online profile said he was 30 when he was really 38. She said in a video interview: 'He didn't tell me his real age. I found that through Google.' The court was told the pair had dated until November 2022 but the woman got fed up with Kennedy allegedly slapping and kicking her. She said: 'He is a sperm donor. He was talking about where he was going next. Lyons family insist rival Daniel crew had NOTHING to do with Spain shootings "He was going away to donate to someone in a few days' time.' Kennedy had appeared in the Channel 4 documentary in 2018. The woman alleged he raped her for up to 15 minutes. She told jurors her cousin phoned while she was in the toilet, cleaning herself up. The woman testified: 'I threw Mitch's clothes at him. I said you have to leave now. 'He just laughed. He eventually dressed very slowly.' She said she spoke to pals who were waiting outside her flat. The woman claimed: 'I said Mitch had raped me.' Her pals helped her put her bedding and clothes in black bags in case she wanted to go to the cops, the court heard, and she reported the alleged incident the following day. Mitchell denies rape plus physically and verbally abusing his ex-girlfriend between July 2021 and November 2022. The trial continues before Judge Graham Buchanan.
