One-eyed police murderer Dale Cregan is on hunger strike for the second time in a bid to be moved to a secure psychiatric hospital. The 31-year-old was reportedly transferred to solitary confinement in HMP Manchester, formerly Strangeways, a month ago after being caught smuggling a mobile phone and cannabis into his prison cell, sources said. But in a desperate attempt to get himself moved Cregan, who was jailed for life after shooting police officers Fiona Bone and Nicola Hughes in 2012, has apparently stopped eating. He is hoping to be transferred from the Category A prison to Ashworth Hospital, a high-security psychiatric unit in Maghull, Merseyside, the Daily Star Sunday reported. Before the fallout sources told the Star that Cregan had an enhanced status and was allowed additional time in the games area and yard, as well as a flat-screen TV and DVD player in his room. But the benefits were taken off him after he was caught smuggling for a second time. 'Cregan has burned all his bridges in here,' the source said. 'He has not eaten since he was sent into segregation. That is 30 days of not eating.' Ashworth hospital offers comfortable bedrooms and patients are allowed personal items such as CDs, photos and books. Art and music workshops, pottery and cooking classes, and social events such as bingo and film nights are also offered to the patients. Cregan went on the run in 2012 after murdering David Short, 46, and his son Mark, 23, in a bar fight. The killer, who lost an eye in a separate brawl, lured officers Bone and Hughes into his house four months later with a fake 999 call.
