THE UK’s most dangerous female inmate tried to murder Rose West and chop a guard’s finger off to escape jail.
Joanna Dennehy, 42, once described killing as “moreish and fun” and has become one of four women in the country to be sentenced to a whole life behind bars.

The brutal killer was convicted in 2014 after a spree of bone-chilling murders including that of 31-year-old lover Lukasz Slaboszewski, her housemate John Chapman and her landlord Kevin Lee.
A judge called her “cruel, calculating, selfish, and manipulative” after a court heard of her murderous antics, which involved mutilating a corpse and squeezing the body into a sequined black dress.
She has since been described as one of the most dangerous inmates and has been accused of attempting to kill fellow prisoner and murderer Rose West.
It is also understood she drew up an escape plan which involved murdering a guard and using their severed finger to unlock the biometric doors.
Professor David Wilson, a criminologist and former prison governor, told how part of her threat was in her ability to manipulate with sex.
He told the Mail Online: “She will be using this to get what she wants.
“Even when she was being interviewed in a police station in Hereford for attempting to kill two men out walking her dogs, she started to flirt with the female custody sergeant.”
According to the criminologist, targeting the 71-year-old mass murderer Rose West was an attempt to be “top dog” in prison.
West was convicted of 10 murders in 1995 and has also been sentenced to life imprisonment.
The murder threat allegedly spurred Dennehy’s move to solitary confinement but it wasn’t long before the villain was reported having an affair with a prison guard.
She was moved to HMP Low Newton where she continued her devilish streak, striking up a relationship with the murderer Emma Aitken.
Prof Wilson explained this string of illicit relationships is all part of the killer’s vying for control.
It’s part of her “conning” to use sex as a tool of manipulation, he said.
According to the former prison governor, Dennehy will always remain a threat whilst compos mentis because of her “unusual” killer profile.
He said: “Dennehy is one of the very few female spree killers in criminological history. Spree murders tend to be a male phenomenon.”
He added: “I don’t know what can be done with her in terms of changing her behaviour because she seems to have extreme violent tendencies.
“That is based on having interviewed people who were very close to her – including her former husband.”
