Sex killer’s catalogue of moans...
A DEPRAVED double killer has complained after jail bosses banned him from buying Argos bedsheets.
Colin Campbell, who mutilated 17-year-old Claire Woolterton and Deirdre Sainsbury, 29, whined he was being forced to pay over the odds for bedding.
He wrote an angry letter after being told that, because of fire regulations, he could only buy the items from the prison canteen.
Campbell, 68, also claimed the prison service was breaching his human rights by “interfering” in his bid to contact a solicitor.
The killer complained: “I recently tried to order bedding from Argos (an approved catalogue of the prison system) and was told that I have to buy my bedding from the prison canteen.
“The bedding sold by the prison canteen is two to three times more expensive than any sold by Argos.
“When I queried this the reply I received was ‘Prisoners are only allowed to purchase bedding from the prison canteen because of the particularly high fire standards that
Chief Reporter apply to the materials used’. I think the truth of the matter is that somebody is making a profit from this monopoly.”
Campbell, who is serving two life sentences at high security HMP Woodhill in Milton Keynes, is also unhappy about restrictions over access to his solicitor. In another letter, he branded it “obstruction for obstruction’s sake”. The former travelling salesman killed hitch-hiker Deirdre after picking her up in Roehampton in December 1984. He mutilated one of her breasts before leaving her body on a golf course. Campbell admitted manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility and was jailed for life.
But in 2011 he was also convicted of the murder of Claire Woolterton – who vanished in August 1981 – after a police cold case was reopened.
Claire’s partially naked body was found by the River Thames in Windsor, Berks. Campbell cut her throat, sexually assaulted her and mutilated her private parts.
