In a strange twist of fate, infamous serial killer Robert Maudsley has gone on a hunger strike in a UK prison following the seizure of his TV and PlayStation. Maudsley, who has spent more than four decades in prison, is objecting to the seizure of his entertainment rights by the prison authorities.
Maudsley's crime spree started in the 1970s, and he was later convicted of killing four individuals. His violent tactics and absence of remorse led to his nickname "Hannibal the Cannibal."
