Flowers and tributes outside the Atkinson Art Centre Southport for Bebe, Elsie Dot and Alice, the girls that diedA lawyer for the families of the children murdered by Southport killer Axel Rudakubana has said his transfer from prison to Broadmoor psychiatric hospital is another attempt by him to “manipulate the system”. 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 newspaper. “Any decision to transfer an offender is made following an independent, clinical assessment, under the Mental Health Act. 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.
