Serial killer Rosemary West has been moved to a prison near Huddersfield.

And fellow inmates have been told to 'be nice' to West who with her husband Fred murdered several young woman and teenage girls in the 1970s, the Mirror reports .

West, who was convicted of 10 murders and will remain in prison for the rest of her life, was recently moved from maximum security Low Newton, near Durham, to the Flockton jail.

This move is said to be a routine switch.

Bosses at the prison, which houses minor and serious female criminals , have told other inmates not to bully West.

Any prisoner who does may face losing privileges such as in-cell TVs and access to treats and toiletries from the prison shop.

A source told the Mirror : "They've been told that physical and verbal threats will not be tolerated and could result in a loss of privileges.

"They want West to settle as well as she can and they don’t want her getting upset and self-harming or even worse.

"Despite what she has done, it is a traumatic experience when ­prisoners change jails and the bosses want West's transition to go as smoothly as possible."

While HMP New Hall is in a pretty, rural setting the view from her cell is over a stark all-weather sports pitch.

West, 65, will be able to join exercise classes like yoga and Zumba.

She was previously held at HMP Bronzefield, Middlesex, but moved to Low Newton in 2008 after a plot to attack her with pool balls in a sock. Her latest move is said to be a routine switch.

West was jailed for life in 1995 for her part in the murders of 10 girls with rapist builder husband Fred .

They included her eight-year-old ­stepdaughter Charmaine.

Fred West, who buried the bodies at their home in Cromwell Street, Gloucester, hanged himself in jail before his trial in 1995 aged 53.
