-

Cannibal killer Stefano Brizzi was found hanged in his cell around a month after being taken off suicide watch, an inquest heard. Italian national Brizzi, 50, died at Belmarsh high-security jail on 5 February. Brizzi was for a time on a programme for prisoners considered at risk, a pre-inquest review hearing at Southwark Coroner’s Court was told.

He was taken off the programme on 28 December. Brizzi strangled police officer Gordon Semple, 59, during a bondage sex session and then cooked and tried to eat him.
