Fury as it costs more to cage a teenage killer than put them up in a ‘superior twin’ room at The Ritz
IT COSTS more to cage a teenage killer than put them up at The Ritz, shock figures reveal.
Taxpayers foot an annual bill of £336,000 — £921 per night — to keep a young lag at a Secure Training Centre.
A room at London’s Ritz can cost £775 a night, or £900 for a “superior twin” room.
John O’Connell, chief executive of the TaxPayers’ Alliance, said: “Taxpayers will find these figures difficult to believe.
“Keeping dangerous child prisoners locked up is inevitably going to be expensive, but the current cost cited is so high that inefficiencies must be present.
“At the very least, the Prison Service needs to be transparent as to why costs are so high.”
Places at Oakhill Secure Training Centre, near Milton Keynes, Bucks, are the most expensive in the prison estate — costing seven times the £122 per night for some adult jails.
Those there are believed to include two 13-year-old machete murderers of Shawn Seesahai, 19 — attacked in Wolverhampton in 2023.
It is run by private firm G4S, holds up to 80 children and is currently the country’s only operational STC.
Ministry of Justice figures also show a place at a Secure Children’s Home works out at £887 a night
Young Offender Institutions come in at £329.
A spokesman said: “Children in custody are largely there for serious offences and have needs requiring more support.”
Danny Cipriani cuddles glam TV star ex 4 months after they split amid tense divorce showdown with wife
RUGBY union hunk Danny Cipriani cuddles up to his glam ex — four months after they split.
The ex-England fly-half, 37, was spotted last week in LA with American Nip/Tuck star AnnaLynne McCord, also 37.
AnnaLynne and Danny became an item last April, just months after he split from wife Victoria Rose, 44.
He launched their relationship by saying: “My miracle… loving you is the easiest thing in the world.”
The pair bonded over their passion for spirituality and were pictured on holiday in Egypt and on the beach in LA.
However, in January the pair were reported to have split with a source saying: “Their romance was very turbulent, Danny is going through a very difficult divorce and wasn’t able to give AnnaLynne everything she needed.”
Danny then confirmed their break-up at a screening of Celebrity Bear Hunt.
He said of AnnaLynne: “We’re not together right now, but she really enjoyed [watching] it.
“We were just talking about it and she really enjoyed it. She was so positive.
“There was one time I phoned her during it and I was thinking about how I’m going to get out of here.
“She was like, ‘Look, I’m down, I’m going.’ She was awesome.”
Danny and AnnaLynne’s reunion comes two weeks after a legal showdown between the Celebrity Bear Hunt star and his soon-to-be ex-wife Victoria.
They were recently in court to finalise details of their split.
A source said: “It was pretty tense. The divorce is far from done.”
Horror as soldier stabbed in the face by maniac in random attack while walking his dog near UK base
A ROYAL Engineer was attacked by a knifeman who tried to steal the dog he was walking.
The trainee, in his 20s, was confronted by a maniac who attempted to steal the pet two miles away from the Swinton Barracks in Tidworth, Wiltshire.
The incident on Friday afternoon sent shockwaves through the camp, though the young victim, who suffered a facial wound, is expected to make a full recovery.
It is understood that police are now investigating the attack.
It is not thought to be linked to the victim’s role in the Army.
A source said: “It was a random attack while he was out walking a dog.
“The attacker approached him and produced a knife, and demanded that he hand the dog over.
“Obviously he refused. The knifeman made a lunge at him, and he was wounded in the face.
“The attacker wouldn’t have known he was in the military, but obviously, with the threats soldiers face, this is still an alarming incident.”
Military sources said Wiltshire Police were investigating the incident as a civilian matter.
Swinton Barracks is a 320-acre military estate on the eastern edge of Salisbury Plain, which is regularly used for Army drills.
It houses two Royal Engineer regiments and two Signal regiments.
Wiltshire Police said: “At around 3.45pm on Friday, we received a report that an unknown suspect had approached a man walking a dog in woodland near Perham Down and attempted to snatch the lead of the dog.
“The victim, a man in his 20s, suffered a minor injury to his face during the incident.
“Our enquiries into the incident are ongoing.”
