Double murderer has been ‘peddling drugs to inmates in Ian Brady’s hospital’
Peter Fox, 27, lives in same institution as moors murderer
A DOUBLE killer is being investigated for peddling drugs in the secure hospital holding moors murderer Ian Brady.
Schizophrenic Peter Fox, 27, is claimed to have been dealing to other patients.
He was taken to Ashworth, in Merseyside, last April after the bodies of his mother and sister were found in nearby Bootle.
A source said: “Bosses are trying to find out exactly what Fox has been trying to sell and where he has got it from.
“He’s probably got his hands on some prescription drugs somehow. They’re keeping an even closer eye on him.”
Fox will serve at least 12 years and seven months after being convicted of manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility.
