S13 Ep 22: Hannibal the Cannibal

Geoffrey and Molly Wansell confront Britain’s most chilling killer, Robert Maudsley, the man the tabloids dubbed Hannibal the Cannibal . Locked away in a glass cell beneath Wakefield Prison, Maudsley has spent decades in near-total isolation after a string of murders so brutal they shocked even hardened detectives. But who is the man behind the monster? With Geoffrey’s trademark precision and Molly’s probing curiosity, Blood Ties digs into Maudsley’s tragic childhood, his descent into violence, and the media myth that turned him into a British bogeyman. Was he born evil or made by a system that failed him? This is Blood Ties at its most provocative: a gripping, fearless look at one of Britain’s darkest souls and the uncomfortable truths that lie behind the nickname Hannibal the Cannibal .
