A former Broadmoor Hospital worker has been jailed for eight months for selling stories to The Sun about notorious patients including the Yorkshire Ripper.

Robert Neave, 62, had worked at the top security psychiatric hospital in Berkshire since 1980 and was aware of his duty of confidentiality.

But in September 2007, the healthcare nursing assistant contacted the tabloid and offered information about Peter Sutcliffe as well as Rachel Nickell's killer Robert Napper.
