Southport killer Axel Rudakubana has been transferred from prison to Broadmoor psychiatric hospital, the Ministry of Justice has confirmed. The move to Broadmoor high security hospital from the category A prison Belmarsh was first reported by the Guardian on Thursday. Offenders who present an increased risk, and cannot be managed safely in a prison environment because of mental disorders, can be moved to secure psychiatric units. Patients in secure hospital units cost more than £300,000 each a year, compared to around £60,000 for other prisoners, Whitehall sources told the Guardian. An offender in a secure hospital will be compelled to engage with treatment and to undertake therapies before any return to prison or release into the community.
