Detectives and staff at Broadmoor Hospital leaked details of spree killer Daniel Gonzalez and Yorkshire Ripper Peter Sutcliffe to the tabloid press, a court heard today.

Sun senior reporter Jamie Pyatt (pictured: Reuters), 51, is accused of buying details from Surrey Police PC Simon Quinn for years, cultivating him as an important source of confidential information.

The journalist made a number of expense claims for a "Surrey police contact" who gave exclusive photographs of Gonzalez, it is said.
