Any move would spark controversy also hit the taxpayer with a much higher bill – of £325,000 per year compared to £57,000 in prison - for It comes after we told how Rudakubana - serving at least 52 years - was still allowed canteen treats at Read More on UK News And a source said: 'Rudakubana has had the initial tests to see whether he can be classed as mentally ill and moved to a hospital unit. 'Conversations are happening now about his future, after he was being assessed by therapists, psychologists and other medical experts. 'He is very keen for a move because but others at Belmarsh think he is gaming the system. 'He knows he would be on easy street at any hospital, as opposed to Belmarsh which is one of the toughest prisons in the UK. Most read in The Sun 'If you are serving a sentence as long as his, you would want to be in a secure hospital unit rather than prison.

'But no Category A jails want to accept him and there are a lack of suitable places. 'Rudakubana would also be less of a target himself for attack in a hospital than he is in prison. 'He would also get 10 times more than he does in prison, in terms of care and conditions. 'It is not right given his horrific crimes but it could happen and the decision will be taken pretty soon.' Britain's secure hospitals have held some of the country's most heinous killers including Yorkshire Ripper Peter Sutcliffe, Moors Murderer The secure hospital's website explains its focus on therapy and psychology-based treatment – with patients encouraged to take part in arts and crafts, sport and social activities. A central building – surrounded by gardens – contains a café, shop and hairdresser, woodwork and ceramics workshops, classrooms and a 'multi-faith sanctuary'. 5 Bebe King, 6, died in the Southport attack 5 Elsie Dot Stancombe, 7, was another victim 5 Alice Da Silva Aguiar, 9, also lost her life
