‘Psycho’ killer paints Corrie jail mural

A Coronation Street-loving “Psycho” killer has painted a life-size mural of the Rovers Return on prison walls in homage to his favourite soap.

Kiaran Stapleton, 23, who murdered Indian student Anuj Bidve in an unprovoked attack, has spent hours lovingly adorning the walls of the Special Intervention Unit at Strangeways jail in Manchester with a copy of the show’s famous pub.

But his artwork has sparked outrage from some who say Stapleton, who blasted Mr Bidve in the head from point blank range, should not be allowed to pursue “hobbies” while serving a life sentence.
