[69], In the early evening of 23 November 1963, at a market in Ashton-under-Lyne, Brady and Hindley offered 12-year-old John Kilbride a lift home, saying his parents might worry that he was out so late; they also promised him a bottle of sherry. [231] That same year his children were taken into the care of the local authority. [159][160] Hindley told Topping that she knew nothing of these killings. Lesley, 10, was abducted by Brady and Hindley at.

At some point Brady sent Hindley to fetch Smith, her brother-in-law. [66], Once Reade was in the van, Hindley asked her to help in searching Saddleworth Moor for an expensive lost glove; Reade agreed and they drove there. He called Brady "wicked beyond belief" and said he saw no reasonable possibility of reform for him, though he did not think the same necessarily true of Hindley once "removed from [Brady's] influence". [149], Over the next few months interest in the search waned, but Hindley's clue had focused efforts on a specific area. [d][182], During several years of interactions with forensic psychologist Chris Cowley, including face-to-face meetings,[183] Brady told him of an "aesthetic fascination [he had] with guns",[184] despite his never having used one to kill. When I ran in I just stood inside the living room and I saw a young lad. "Rape is not a crime, it's a state of mind, murder is a hobby and a supreme pleasure," these are the words by Marquis de Sade that inspired the Moors Murders. [198], After receiving end-of-life care, Brady died of restrictive pulmonary disease at Ashworth Hospital on 15 May 2017;[199] the inquest found that he died of natural causes and that his hunger strike had not been a contributory factor. [95], Officers making inquiries at neighbouring houses spoke to 12-year-old Patricia Hodges, who had on several occasions been taken to Saddleworth Moor by Brady and Hindley, and was able to point out their favourite sites along the A635 road. She was present, under heavy sedation, at the funeral of her daughter on 7 August 1987. [102] At the committal hearing on 6 December, Brady was charged with the murders of Evans, Kilbride, and Downey, and Hindley with the murders of Evans and Downey, as well as with harbouring Brady in the knowledge that he had killed Kilbride. None of Maureen's relatives attended. [255], In November 2017 it was revealed that, without the knowledge of her family, some of the remains of Pauline Reade, including her jaw bone, had been kept at the University of Leeds by Greater Manchester Police. One such victim was Stephen Jennings, a three-year-old West Yorkshire boy who was last seen alive in December 1962; his body was found buried in a field in 1988, but the following year his father, William Jennings, was found guilty of his murder. Hindley stayed with Reade while Brady retrieved a spade he had hidden nearby on a previous visit, then returned to the van while Brady buried Reade. Hindley drove to a lay-by on Saddleworth Moor and Brady went off with Bennett, supposedly looking for a lost glove. It would never have been possible to carry out such a search in private. The two couples began to see each other more regularly, but usually only on Brady's terms.[59][60]. The bouffanted blonde and the strutting clothes horse-killer had no human feelings as they took the life of the child. [88] Brady told police that he and Evans had fought, but insisted that he and Smith had murdered Evans and that Hindley had "only done what she had been told". [241][242], In 1972, Smith was acquitted of the murder of his father, who had been suffering from terminal cancer. A huge search was undertaken, with over 700statements taken, and 500"missing" posters printed.

Lesley Ann Downey was just 10-years-old when she was killed by Hindley and Brady, after they abducted her on Boxing Day 1964. The prosecution's opening statement was held in camera rather than in open court,[103] and the defence asked for a similar stipulation but was refused.

Terry West, Lesley's older brother, has spoken. Lesley was just 10-years-old when she was killed by them after they abducted her on Boxing Day 1964 at a fair in Ancoats, Manchester.

On this Wikipedia the language links are at the top of the page across from the article title. [134] She showed particular interest in photos of the area around Hollin Brown Knoll and Shiny Brook, but said that it was impossible to be sure of the locations without visiting the moor. [207] With help from Cairns, and the outside contacts of another prisoner, Maxine Croft, Hindley planned a prison escape, but it was thwarted when impressions of the prison keys were intercepted by an off-duty policeman. Since her daughter's death, she had campaigned to ensure that Hindley remained in prison, and doctors said that the stress had contributed to the severity of her illness. [12] As he was still under 18, Brady was sentenced to two years in a borstal for "training". Hindley and her solicitor left Cookham Wood at 4:30am, flew to the moor by helicopter from an airfield near Maidstone, and then were driven, and walked, around the area until 3:00pm. Fisher persuaded Hindley to release a public statement, which touched on her reasons for denying her guilt previously, her religious experiences in prison, and the letter from Johnson. For Hindley, this demonstrated a marked change from her earlier, more shy and prudish nature.[45]. [129] This followed claims in 2004 that Hindley had told another inmate that she and Brady had murdered a sixth victim, a teenage girl. [180] In one letter, written in 2005, Brady claimed that the murders were "merely an existential exercise of just over a year, which was concluded in December 1964". The following day, Hindley brought her grandmother back home. Ian was standing over him, facing him, with his legs on either side of the young lad's legs. [166] In 2017, the police asked a court to order that two locked briefcases owned by Brady be opened, arguing that they might contain clues to the location of Bennett's body; the application was declined on the grounds that no prosecution was likely to result. The notorious twins, who had shared a jail wing with Moors murderer . [144], Police visited Brady in prison again and told him of Hindley's confession, which at first he refused to believe. Brady already owned a Box Brownie, which he used to take photographs of Hindley and her dog, Puppet, but he upgraded to a more sophisticated model, and also purchased lights and darkroom equipment.

When she denied that she had a husband or that a man was in the house, Talbot identified himself. The lad was still screaming Ian had a hatchet in his hand he was holding it above his head and he hit the lad on the left side of his head with the hatchet. [200] Brady had refused food and fluids for more than forty-eight hours on various occasions, causing him to be fitted with a nasogastric tube, although his inquest noted that his body mass index was not a cause for concern. The young Smith was similarly impressed by Brady, who throughout the day had paid for his food and wine. As the death penalty for murder had been abolished while Brady and Hindley were held on remand, the judge passed the only sentence that the law allowed: life imprisonment. [132] It ended: "I am a simple woman, I work in the kitchens of Christie's Hospital. This was the first time Brady and Smith had met properly, and Brady was apparently impressed by Smith's demeanour.

To help date the photos, detectives had a veterinary surgeon examine the dog to determine his age; the examination required a general anaesthetic from which Puppet did not recover. She was in the car, over the brow of the hill, in the bathroom and even, in the case of the Evans murder, in the kitchen"; he felt he "had witnessed a great performance rather than a genuine confession". [112][113], Smith was the chief prosecution witness. Victim: Lesley Ann Downey, aged 10, whose body was found in a shallow grave on Saddleworth Moors ( Image: PA) Victim: John Kilbride, aged 12, whose remains were also discovered on the. [76] Hindley's family had not approved of Maureen's marriage to Smith, who had several criminal convictions, including actual bodily harm and housebreaking, the first of which, wounding with intent, occurred when he was 11. The two talked about society, the distribution of wealth, and the possibility of robbing a bank. Their home was vandalised, they regularly received hate mail, and Maureen wrote that she could not let her children out of her sight when they were small. Hindley was apparently jealous of their friendship, but became closer to her sister. When Brady arrived on his motorcycle, Hindley told Reade he would be helping in the search. [143] He added that he "was struck by the fact that [in Hindley's telling] she was never there when the killings took place. [146] Hindley made her second visit to the moor in March 1987. [87] Over the next four days Hindley visited her employer and asked to be dismissed so that she would be eligible for unemployment benefits. "[85], Though Hindley was not initially arrested, she demanded to go with Brady to the police station, taking her dog. [19], Hindley's father had served with the Parachute Regiment and was stationed in North Africa, Cyprus and Italy during the Second World War. "[133], Police visited Hindley then being held in HM Prison Cookham Wood in Kent a few days after she received the letter, and although she refused to admit any involvement in the killings, she agreed to help by looking at photographs and maps to try to identify spots she had visited with Brady. [187][189], Myra gets the potentially fatal brain condition, whilst I have to fight simply to die. Hindley, who had not replied to the first letter, responded by thanking Johnson for both letters, explaining that her decision not to reply to the first resulted from the negative publicity that surrounded it. [191], According to Cowley, Brady regretted Hindley's imprisonment and the consequences of their actions, but not necessarily the crimes themselves. By 2 December, Brady had been charged with the murders of Kilbride, Downey and Evans. [14], In 2003, the police launched Operation Maida, and again searched the moor for Bennett's body,[161] this time using sophisticated resources such as a US reconnaissance satellite which could detect soil disturbances. [121], In his closing remarks, Atkinson described the murders as "truly horrible" and the accused as "two sadistic killers of the utmost depravity";[3] he recommended they spend "a very long time" in prison before being considered for parole, but did not stipulate a tariff. Some commentators expressed the view that of the two, Hindley was the "more evil". The pair took photographs of each other that, for the time, would have been considered explicit. He complained bitterly about conditions at Ashworth, which he hated. [243] He remarried and moved to Lincolnshire with his three sons,[231][244] and was exonerated of any participation in the Moors murders by Hindley's confession in 1987. In the letter, Johnson was sympathetic to Hindley over the criticism surrounding her first visit. [10] By then, Brady's mother had moved to Manchester and married an Irish fruit merchant named Patrick Brady; Patrick got Ian a job as a fruit porter at Smithfield Market, and Ian took Patrick's surname. Each was brought before the court separately and remanded into custody for a week. [196], In 2012, Brady applied to be returned to prison, reiterating his desire to starve himself to death. [93][94] Downey's mother later confirmed that the recording, too, was of her daughter. [38] The couple were regulars at the library, borrowing books on philosophy, as well as crime and torture. Maureen managed to repair the relationship with her mother, and moved into a council property in Gorton. [30] Hindley began a diary and, although she had dates with other men, some of the entries detail her fascination with Brady, to whom she eventually spoke for the first time on 27 July.

Brady took their family name and became known as Ian Sloan. [227] Four months later, her ashes were scattered by her ex-partner, Patricia Cairns, less than 10 miles (16km) from Saddleworth Moor in Stalybridge Country Park.

Ian Brady was born in the Gorbals area of Glasgow, Scotland, as Ian Duncan Stewart on 2 January 1938 to Margaret "Peggy" Stewart, an unmarried tea room waitress. Brady was in the back of the van. Hindley's first job was as a junior clerk at a local electrical engineering firm. When police returned to the living room they arrested Brady on suspicion of murder. [24] Hindley's father had insisted she have a Catholic baptism, and her mother agreed, on the condition that she not be sent to a Catholic school; Nellie Hindley believed that "all the monks taught was the catechism". The bodies of two of the victims were discovered in 1965, in graves dug on Saddleworth Moor; a third grave was discovered there in 1987, more than twenty years after Brady and Hindley's trial. At first, Smith refused to name the newspaper, risking contempt of court; when he eventually identified the News of the World, Jones, as Attorney General, immediately promised an investigation. Myra Hindley and Ian Brady found 10-year-old Lesley Anne Downey alone at a fair and convinced her to help them unload some groceries from their car. [55] On the same day, Lesley Ann Downey disappeared from a funfair in Ancoats. [204] She corresponded with Brady by letter until 1971, when she ended their relationship. Higgins drowned in the reservoir, and Hindleya good swimmerwas deeply upset and blamed herself. The Lord Chief Justice agreed with that recommendation in 1982, but in January 1985 Home Secretary Leon Brittan increased her tariff to thirty years. On his release from prison, Smith moved in with a 15-year-old girl who became his second wife and won custody of his three sons. The marriage was hastily arranged and performed at a register office. [261] Given Hindley's status as co-defendant in the first serial murder trial held since the abolition of the death penalty,[262] retribution was a common theme among those who sought to keep her locked away. [230], David Smith became "reviled by the people of Manchester"[231] for financially profiting from the murders. [189], In 2001, Brady wrote The Gates of Janus, which was published by the US underground publisher Feral House. She stayed overnight in Manchester, at the flat of the police chief in charge of GMP training at Sedgley Park, Prestwich, and visited the moor twice. Ian Brady and Myra Hindley made Lesley Ann Downey their next victim. Maureen moved from Underwood Court to a single-bedroom property, and found work in a department store. His mother continued to visit him throughout his childhood. [89] Smith said that Brady had asked him to return anything incriminating, such as "dodgy books", which Brady then packed into suitcases; he had no idea what else the suitcases contained or where they might be, though he mentioned that Brady "had a thing about railway stations". [195], The mother of the remaining undiscovered victim, Keith Bennett, received a letter from Brady at the end of 2005 in which, she said, he claimed that he could take police to within 20 yards (18m) of her son's body but the authorities would not allow it. On 11 October, she too was arrested and taken into custody, being charged as an accessory to the murder of Evans and was remanded at HM Prison Risley. [77] Throughout the previous year Brady had been cultivating a friendship with Smith, who had become "in awe" of Brady, something that increasingly worried Hindley as she felt it compromised their safety.[78]. [25] Hindley was increasingly drawn to the Roman Catholic Church after she started at Ryder Brow Secondary Modern, and began taking instruction for formal reception into the Church soon after Higgins's funeral. [263], Lord Longford, a Catholic convert, campaigned to secure the release of "celebrated" criminals, and Hindley in particular, which earned him constant derision from the public and the press. In 1966, Ian Brady and Myra Hindley were convicted of the abduction, sexual assault and murder of Lesley Ann Downey (10), John Kilbride (12) and Edward Evans (17). [236], Maureen and her immediate family made regular visits to see Hindley, who reportedly adored her niece.

[220] Home Secretary David Blunkett ordered the GMP to find new charges against Hindley to prevent her release from prison. She had been lured from a fairground by the pair and taken to the house Hindley shared. She ran errands, typed, made tea, and was well liked enough that when she lost her first week's wage packet, the other girls took up a collection to replace it. She took a job at Bratby and Hinchliffe, an engineering company in Gorton, but was dismissed for absenteeism after six months. [91] Inside one of the cases wereamong an assortment of costumes, notes, photographs and negativesnine pornographic photographs taken of Downey, naked and with a scarf tied across her mouth, and a sixteen-minute audiotape recording of a girl identifying herself as "Lesley Ann Weston"[b] screaming, crying, and pleading to be allowed to return home to her mother. [237] Sheila and Patrick Kilbride, who were by then divorced,[238] attended Maureen's funeral thinking that Hindley might be there; Patrick mistook Bill Scott's daughter from a previous relationship for Hindley and tried to attack her. [151], Although Brady and Hindley had confessed to the murders of Reade and Bennett, the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) decided that nothing would be gained by a further trial; as both were already serving life sentences no further punishment could be inflicted. The only consolation is that some moron might have got hold of Puppet and hurt him. [3] Their crimes were the subject of extensive worldwide media coverage. The investigation was headed by Superintendent Tony Brett, and initially looked at charging Hindley with the murders of Reade and Bennett, but the advice given by government lawyers was that because of the DPP's decision taken fifteen years earlier, a new trial would probably be considered an abuse of process. She claimed that, had Johnson written to her fourteen years earlier, she would have confessed and helped the police.
