Joanna Dennehy is one of only three women to be given a whole life prison term in the UK – alongside Moors murderer Myra Hindley and Rose West.
But she is currently challenging the decision to segregate her at HMP Bronzefield claiming she is a victim of the Human Rights Convention and disability discrimination, the Sun reported.
During a hearing at the High Court, her lawyer Hugh Southey QC said she was vulnerable due to personality disorders and asked for damages to be awarded.
Incredibly, the court heard the reason she had been segregated was because prison authorities discovered a breakout plot that involved cutting off a guard’s finger and using it to trick security biometrics.
==================================================
The three murders
In a ten day killing spree, Dennehy stabbed lover Kevin Lee and housemates Lukasz Slaboszewski and John Chapman, dumping each body in ditches in Cambridgeshire.
The Old Bailey was told she carried out the attacks to gratify her ‘sadistic love for blood’.
Later she told a psychiatrist: ‘I killed to see how I would feel, to see if I was as cold as I thought I was. Then it got more-ish.’
While police were carrying out the investigation in to the murder she had travelled to Hereford with accomplice Gary Stretch to search for more men to kill.
The pair randomly selected two dog walkers, stabbing them in frenzied knife attacks but fortunately both men survived.
