Moors Murders

Police are digging on Saddleworth Moor for the body of Keith, a 12-year-old child and victim of the infamous Moors Murderers Ian Brady and Myra Hindley. The ...

In July, Mr Edwards took one last trip to the moors, and on the walk back he was something “I thought shouldn’t be there in the vegetation”. In 1961, Hindley joined the company Brady was by that point working for after being released from prison, and her infatuation with him led her to be wrapped up in his delusions, she later said. Born in Glasgow in 1938 to a single mother, Brady was adopted by another couple, and he had several run-ins with the law in his youth. His mother is dead and he is becoming a forgotten story and that is not fair.” He witnessed the final blow to the head. When police found Evans’ body in the spare room, they arrested Brady on suspicion of murder. In 2016, he paid for a drone survey of the area, as well as radar to scan underground. Three months later, he was sent to prison after being caught stealing from the fish market he worked in. Myra Hindley stopped the 12-year-old, and asked him to help her load some boxes into the back of her Mini pickup. He told Hindley that he had sexually assaulted Keith and strangled him with string. The amateur sleuth credited with this week’s discovery of human remains on Saddleworth Moor – which could prove to be those of Keith Bennett, a victim of the Moors Murderers never found – has said he almost gave up the years-long search. It was early in the evening.

"In my last contact I was told that nothing at all had been found on the moor and they are about three feet down with the excavation. Later in the evening, after GMP's CSI units had been at the scene all day, Alan shared his final thoughts for the day. The search follows reports - unconfirmed by police - that a 12-year-old skull was discovered in Saddleworth Moor (Thursday, September 29), where Brady and Hindley buried their other four known victims. He said: "I think my final thoughts for the day have to be. Police are searching for the remains of Keith, Keith's family have waited 58 years to find out what happened to their brother, and his sibling Alan has been sharing updates on social media.

"It is the left side of an upper jaw. "It is far too early to be certain whether human remains have been uncovered, but out of respect for Alan Bennett, who we regularly maintain contact with, we have informed him of this potential development. "We are at the very early stages of assessing the evidence which he brought to our attention, but have taken the decision to excavate an area of land with a view to determining what lies there. GMP's Martin Bottomley said: "We are in the very early stages of assessing the information which has been brought to our attention but have made the decision to act on it in line with a normal response to a report of this kind. "It is far too early to be certain whether human remains have been discovered and this is expected to take some time."

GMP Force Review Officer Martin Bottomley said: 'At around 11.25am on Thursday 29 September 2022, Greater Manchester Police was contacted by the representative of an author who has been researching the murder of Keith Bennett, a victim of Ian Brady and Myra Hindley.

'I thought I might as well take a sample of this.. Police are pictured giving a press conference in 1987 after the discovery of graves I worked as a gravedigger when I was 19 that hits you, that smell of death. Alan spent the best part of decade searching Saddleworth Moor himself around Shiny Brook stream with a team of helpers digging through peat for Keith's remains. But Brady would change the subject, and nothing came of it.' (Pictured: Police guard the latest digging site on Saturday morning) At the time we were hopeful that it might lead to Keith.

If I saw anything as I walked down there I thought I will take a sample. "As I walked the long way back, I saw something I thought shouldn't be there in the vegetation.
