Britain’s most notorious prisoner Charles Bronson ‘smeared himself in
butter before taking on 12 prison guards’ after Arsenal won the FA
Cup.The 61-year-old Tottenham Hotspur fan, who is branded Britain's most
violent and dangerous prisoner,and serving a life sentence for robbery
and kidnap at Full Sutton Prison in York, covered himself in butter -
supposedly making it harder for guards to restrain him – before going on
the rampage on May 17.He was left with broken ribs after the scuffle..
According to Daily Mirror ,Bronson
has spent the last 40 years in jail with 36 of those years spent in
solitary confinement due to his 'aggression'.He was first jailed in
1974, aged 22, for an armed robbery on a post office and his jail time
has been repeatedly extended for various crimes including taking
prisoners hostage.Over the years, he has been involved in at least ten
jail sieges and the outbursts have seen him moved 150 times.
He was given a life sentence in 1999 for holding a prison art teacher
hostage for 44 hours for criticising some of his sketches.CCTV footage
showed him leading his victim around like a dog with a rope around his
neck. He has become a prolific artist during his time inside and,
controversially, his surreal multi-coloured drawings have sold for up to
£1,000 and been displayed in galleries across London.
He once boasted: ‘I’ve had more hostages than Saddam Hussein’
