SICK love letters from the UK's most dangerous killer, dubbed Hannibal the Cannibal, to his new girlfriend have been revealed.
Maudsley, 71, while serving a life sentence for murder.
Since his behind-bars rampage in 1983, Maudsley has in solitary confinement.
Four prison officers in the basement of HMP Wakefield.
Maudsley, from Toxteth in , was first locked up for killing builder John Farrell in 1974.
He handed himself into police and was sent to hospital – where he took another inmate hostage and tortured him to death.
Maudsley was convicted of manslaughter and sent to Wakefield prison, known as .
He soon went on another bloody rampage, slaughtering two lags in one day in 1978.
Maudsley strangled inmate Salney Darwood before stabbing him with a knife made from a soup spoon.
He then attacked prisoner William Roberts, smashing his head against a wall.
It led to his prison nicknames; first ‘Spoons', then Hannibal the Cannibal, amid claims that he had eaten his brain.
The post mortem made clear that was not the case but the nickname remained.
The brute then calmly walked into the wing office, where he told guards: “There’ll be two short on the roll call.”
Maudsley now spends 23 hours a day his specially-built cell after he was officially classed Britain's most dangerous prisoner.
But he has now been moved to HMP Whitemoor in March, .
He is on F wing in a unit specifically designed for inmates with personality disorders.
Despite being in solitary confinement for more than 40 years years, Maudsley has a girlfriend called Loveinia MacKenney.
The mum-of-one opened up about the love letters the pair have sent to each other over the past five years, as reported by The Mirror.
In his last note before transferring prisons, Maudsley said: “Due to certain restrictions I am not able to write as freely as I would wish to. But you already know how I would love you, if I was there with you.”
In last month's letter the prisoner wrote: “All the kindness, thoughtfulness and love you have shared with me through these last short years can get me through anything.
“My beautiful Loveinia, the more love we experience in our lives, the more the bad experiences tend to fade into the distance and we can live our lives to the full.”
Despite their communication, the couple have never actually met or seen each other in person.
Yet Loveinia said she has “so much love for him” and “he is far” from Hannibal the Cannibal – but instead a “loving and caring person”.
Maudsley recently went on hunger strike after his Playstation was taken away from him.
He told his girlfriend: “Sometimes Loveinia we do have to fight for what is right and we believe in.
“We just need you to get better, and take care of us.”
In cards over Christmas, Maudlsey said he wished she would find someone to love “in a physical sense” and he “longed to”.
“Thank you for being there for me, and for giving me so many beautiful and wonderful dreams; I hope dearly I have done the same for you when you think of me,” he added.
The serial killer also declared Someday We'll be Together'by Diana Ross and Catch the Wind by Donovan, as their songs.
Loveinia said she fell in love with the prisoner after watching a TV documentary called Killer in the Family.
It outlined the childhood abuse Maudlsey endured while growing up in Liverpool.
Loveinia argues because of this trauma, the punishment he's been through behind bars equates to “torture”.
She claimed he has been “victimised” and “never lost his moral compass”.
The mum-of-one also said he's never done or said anything inappropriate while being with her.
“It is love and that is what he needs desperately, and it is unconditional love that we share,” Loveinia added.
Loveinia told how she continues to support her partner and how her “heart breaks for him”.
She added: “He came out of the homes at the age of 16, he came to London's West End and was raped. He is not evil, they call him a cannibal and all that, but when he first killed the child abuser, he gave himself up as he knew what he had done was wrong.”
The prison girlfriend is also concerned about her inmate lover being transferred to a wing where he will be with other people.
She previously told The Mirror: “,They have put him with 70 other prisoners on a wing.
“It is a disaster waiting to happen. He does not want to be alongside other men because of the abuse he suffered as a child.
“You can tell from his letter to me what a terrible state he is in, his handwriting is shaky. He no longer has his TV, he has no radio. He was a model prisoner on his own, but I think they have targeted him.”
