Hunger Strike

Plastic Knives must be stronger now.

**********************************************************

Serial killer Ivan Milat is on a hunger strike after sawing off his little finger with a plastic knife on Monday.
Milat, 64, was placed in an "observational cell" at Goulburn's Supermax jail yesterday after returning from hospital, but has refused all meals, a Department of Corrective Services spokeswoman said.
"I don't know if he gave a reason or discussed it with anyone ... but you can call it a hunger strike," she said.
Milat's meals were being served without cutlery, with the food being cut up for him, the spokeswoman said.
Milat on Monday severed the finger using a plastic serrated knife, letting the blood drain into the sink and urinal unit.
He then put the finger in an envelope he had addressed to the High Court of Australia. A short time later he called for help.
He was taken to hospital but doctors could not reattach his finger, which was brought to the hospital on ice.
Milat is serving a life sentence in Goulburn jail for the murder of seven backpackers.
