Ian Brady, who had been . [145], At about the same time, Johnson sent Hindley another letter, again pleading with her to assist the police in finding the body of her son Keith. 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. Greater Manchester Police (GMP) reopened the investigation, now to be headed by Detective Chief Superintendent Peter Topping, head of GMP's Criminal Investigation Department (CID). [138] Police closed all roads onto the moor, which was patrolled by 200 officers, some armed. [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. [191], According to Cowley, Brady regretted Hindley's imprisonment and the consequences of their actions, but not necessarily the crimes themselves. She was born and raised in Manchester's Gorton, a working-class community. [172] On 7 October the police announced they had ended their search without finding any sign of human remains.

[196], In 2012, Brady applied to be returned to prison, reiterating his desire to starve himself to death. Hindley befriended George Clitheroe, the President of the Cheadle Rifle Club, and on several occasions visited two local shooting ranges. Brady gave Smith books to read, and the two discussed robbery and murder. [259] Her often reprinted photograph, taken shortly after she was arrested, is described by some commentators as similar to the mythical Medusa and, according to author Helen Birch, has become "synonymous with the idea of feminine evil". [197] At a mental health tribunal in June the following year, he claimed that he suffered not from paranoid schizophrenia, as his doctors at Ashworth maintained, but a personality disorder. Myra Hindley was born in England. "[210][211], In 1987, Hindley admitted that the plea for parole she had submitted to the Home Secretary eight years earlier was "on the whole a pack of lies",[212] and to some reporters her co-operation in the searches on Saddleworth Moor "appeared a cynical gesture aimed at ingratiating herself to the parole authorities". He left the academy aged 15 and took a job as a tea boy at a Harland and Wolff shipyard in Govan. . Child killer Myra Hindley accused fellow Moors Murderer Ian Brady of drugging, raping and beating her. [187][189], Myra gets the potentially fatal brain condition, whilst I have to fight simply to die. On the evening of 6 October 1965, Hindley drove Brady to Manchester Central railway station, where she waited outside in the car whilst he selected a victim. [79], Smith then watched Brady throttle Evans with a length of electrical cord. Ian was born in Glasgow, Scotland on January 2, 1938. [249] Five years after their son was murdered, Sheila and Patrick Kilbride divorced. The only consolation is that some moron might have got hold of Puppet and hurt him. [142] The tape recording of her statement was over seventeen hours long; Topping described it as a "very well worked out performance in which, I believe, she told me just as much as she wanted me to know, and no more". The victims were five childrenPauline Reade, John Kilbride, Keith Bennett, Lesley Ann Downey, and Edward Evansaged between 10 and 17, at least four of whom were sexually assaulted. [80] Brady sprained his ankle in the struggle, and Evans's body was too heavy for Smith to carry to the car on his own, so they wrapped it in plastic sheeting and put it in the spare bedroom.

A former assistant governor claimed that such relationships were not unusual in Holloway at that time, as "many of the officers were gay, and involved in relationships either with one another or with inmates". [35] Brady was defended by Emlyn Hooson QC, the Liberal Member of Parliament (MP),[111] and Hindley was defended by Godfrey Heilpern QC, recorder of Salford from 1964; both were experienced Queen's Counsel. They drove to Brady and Hindley's home at Wardle Brook Avenue, where they relaxed over a bottle of wine. In 1960s Britain, people did not kidnap and murder children for fun. [68] When Hindley asked Brady whether he had raped Reade, Brady replied, "Of course I did." [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. [117], Both Brady and Hindley entered pleas of not guilty;[118] Brady testified for over eight hours, Hindley for six. [114] When Smith accepted the News of the World offerits editors had promised additional future payments for syndication and serialisationhe agreed to be paid 15 weekly until the trial, and 1,000 in a lump sum if Brady and Hindley were convicted. After the drowning death of a close male friend when she was 15, Hindley left school and converted to Roman Catholicism. She was never released and died in prison in 2002. [109] Onlookers some travelling for hours would stand outside Chester Assizes every day during the trial. I don't think anything could hurt me more than this has. I have always regarded myself as worse than Brady. Brady's application was rejected and the judge stated that he "continues to suffer from a mental disorder which is of a nature and degree which makes it appropriate for him to continue to receive medical treatment". [55] On the same day, Lesley Ann Downey disappeared from a funfair in Ancoats. The trip to the Lake District was the first of many outings. [106] Hindley wrote to her mother: I feel as though my heart's been torn to pieces. [38] The couple were regulars at the library, borrowing books on philosophy, as well as crime and torture. [264] Tabloid newspapers branded him a "loony" and a "do-gooder" for supporting Hindley, whom they described as evil. [224][225] Camera crews "stood rank and file behind steel barriers" outside, but none of Hindley's relatives were among the small congregation of eight to ten people who attended a short service at Cambridge crematorium. [167], On 30 September 2022, Greater Manchester Police began a search for human remains on the moor after receiving information from amateur investigator and author Russell Edwards,[168][169] who had reportedly found a skull. [82], Superintendent Bob Talbot of the Stalybridge police division went to Wardle Brook Avenue, accompanied by a detective sergeant. Myra is a large painting which is a reproduction of the mugshot of Myra Hindley shortly after she was arrested for her participation in the Moors murders and was created by Marcus Harvey in 1995. Ian Brady was a Scottish serial killer who murdered multiple children with his girlfriend, Myra Hindley. She did, though, later remember that as Reade was being buried she had been sitting next to her on a patch of grass and could see the rocks of Hollin Brown Knoll silhouetted against the night sky. She also asked to join a pistol club, but she was a poor shot and allegedly often bad-tempered, so Clitheroe told her that she was unsuitable; she did though manage to purchase a Webley .45 and a Smith & Wesson .38 from other members of the club. He pleaded guilty to manslaughter and was sentenced to two days' detention. 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. Keith Bennett [256] In October 2018 her remains were re-buried at her grave in Gorton Cemetery, Manchester. [226] Such was the strength of feeling more than thirty-five years after the murders that a reported twenty local undertakers refused to handle her cremation. Hindley was furious, and accused the police of murdering the dog one of the few occasions detectives witnessed any emotional response from her. The book, Brady's analysis of serial murder and specific serial killers, sparked outrage when announced in the UK. The excursion caused a furore in the national press and earned Wing an official rebuke from the then-Home Secretary Robert Carr. The 14-year-old girl had suffered a turbulent childhood. [101], Presented with the evidence of the tape recording, Brady admitted to taking the photographs of Downey, but insisted that she had been brought to Wardle Brook Avenue by two men who had subsequently taken her away again, alive. Hindley began to emulate an ideal of Aryan perfection, bleaching her hair blonde and applying thick crimson lipstick. In total, Brady and Hindley murdered five children. [149], Over the next few months interest in the search waned, but Hindley's clue had focused efforts on a specific area. 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. [246][247], In 1977, a BBC television debate discussed arguments for and against Hindley's release, with Lord Longford, a Catholic convert, on the side who argued that she should be released, and Downey's mother arguing against her release and threatening to kill her were the release to occur. [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. It would never have been possible to carry out such a search in private. The two talked about society, the distribution of wealth, and the possibility of robbing a bank. [35] Brady was taken to HM Prison Durham and Hindley was sent to HM Prison Holloway. Cairns was sentenced to six years in jail for her part in the plot. [132] It ended: "I am a simple woman, I work in the kitchens of Christie's Hospital. Born on July 23, 1942, in Manchester, England, Hindley grew up with her grandmother. Four months later, 12-year-old John Kilbride disappeared, never to be seen again. [208], Hindley was told that she should spend twenty-five years in prison before being considered for parole. Best Known For: Myra Hindley was a serial killer of small children, murders she committed in partnership with boyfriend Ian Brady. [241][242], In 1972, Smith was acquitted of the murder of his father, who had been suffering from terminal cancer. [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". 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. First victim Pauline Reade, 16, disappeared on her way to a . [248], Reade's mother was admitted to Springfield Mental Hospital in Manchester. In 1980, Maureen suffered a brain haemorrhage; Hindley was allowed to visit her in hospital, but arrived an hour after her death. The following day, Hindley brought her grandmother back home. Hodges accompanied the two on their trips to Saddleworth Moor to collect peat, something that many householders on the new estate did to improve the soil in their gardens, which were full of clay and builder's rubble. [221], On 25 November 2002, the Law Lords agreed that judges, not politicians, should decide how long a criminal spends behind bars, and stripped the Home Secretary of the power to set minimum sentences. Testing her blind allegiance, Brady hatched plans of rape and murder. He saw no point in making any kind of public apology; instead, he "expresse[d] remorse through actions". Instead, he accepted the offer of the Press Council to produce a "declaration of principle" which was published in November 1966 and included rules forbidding criminal witnesses being paid or interviewedbut the News of the World promptly rejected the declaration and the Council had no power to enforce its provisions. Many of the photographs taken by Brady and Hindley on the moor featured Hindley's dog Puppet, sometimes as a puppy. [112][113], Smith was the chief prosecution witness. [190] In the book, Brady recounted his friendship in prison with the "teacup poisoner" Graham Young, who shared Brady's admiration for Nazi Germany. Ian Brady and Myra Hindley were another ruthless predator couple who preyed on the weakest - children. None of Maureen's relatives attended. Jones decided not to charge the News of the World on similar grounds. [137], On 16 December 1986, Hindley made the first of two visits to assist the police search of the moor. 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. [115] During the trial, the judge and defence barristers repeatedly questioned Smith and his wife about the nature of the arrangement. [233] After declining to prosecute the News of the World, Attorney General Sir Elwyn Jones came under political pressure to impose new regulations on the press, but was reluctant to legislate on "chequebook journalism". Ian Brady and his girlfriend Myra Hindley sexually tortured and murdered five children between 1963 and 1965. She took a job at Bratby and Hinchliffe, an engineering company in Gorton, but was dismissed for absenteeism after six months. [35] She expressed concern at some aspects of Brady's character; in a letter to a childhood friend, she mentioned an incident where she had been drugged by Brady, but also wrote of her obsession with him. [194] In 2006 officials intercepted 50paracetamol pills hidden inside a hollowed-out crime novel sent to Brady by a female friend. 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. Updated: Nov 9, 2021 Photo: Paul Popper/Popperfoto via Getty Images/Getty Images Brady later claimed that he had picked up Evans for a sexual encounter. So you see my death strike is rational and pragmatic. [144], Police visited Brady in prison again and told him of Hindley's confession, which at first he refused to believe. [119] Brady admitted to striking Evans with the axe, but claimed that someone else had killed Evans, pointing to the pathologist's statement that his death had been "accelerated by strangulation"; Brady's "calm, undisguised arrogance did not endear him to the jury [and] neither did his pedantry", wrote Duncan Staff. I want nothing, my objective is to die and release myself from this once and for all. [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. 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". It was displayed at the Sensation exhibition of Young British Artists at the Royal Academy of Art in London from 8 September to 28 December 1997. [86] She refused to make any statement about Evans's death beyond claiming it had been an accident, and was allowed to go home on the condition that she return the next day. She burst into tears and ran to her father, who threatened to "leather" her if she did not retaliate; Hindley found the boy and knocked him down with a series of punches. Few outside the art world remember the name Marcus Harvey, but many recall his portrait of serial child killer Myra Hindley composed of children's handprints. [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. While her older sister, Myra, moved next door with their grandma, Ellen Maybury. March 3, 2023 2:01am. 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. At the house Downey was undressed, gagged, and forcibly posed for photographs before being raped and killed, perhaps strangled with a piece of string. She was present, under heavy sedation, at the funeral of her daughter on 7 August 1987. [35] The dock was fitted with bullet proof glass to protect Brady and Hindley because it was feared that someone might try and kill them. [39] They also read works by the Marquis de Sade, Friedrich Nietzsche[39] and Fyodor Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment. He died in 2017, at Ashworth, aged 79. Brady was an amazing individual with a lawbreaker background, which she knew. [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. Although Winnie Johnson's letter may have played a part, he believed that Hindley, knowing of Brady's "precarious" mental state, was concerned he might co-operate with the police and reap any available public-approval benefit. [27] Hindley took weekly judo lessons at a local school, but found partners reluctant to train with her, as she was often slow to release her grip. Subjected to whispering campaigns and petitions to remove her from the estate where she lived, Maureen received no support from her familyher mother had supported Myra during the trial. He was lying with his head and shoulders on the couch and his legs were on the floor. In partnership with Ian Brady, she committed the rapes and murders of five small children. Hindley plead not guilty to all of the murders. [214] In 1996, the Parole Board recommended that Hindley be moved to an open prison. Hindley led him into the living room, where Brady was lying on a divan, writing to his employer about his ankle injury. 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. Her father was an alcoholic who was frequently violent towards his wife and children. The newlyweds moved into Smith's father's house. [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. [154] Brady was taken to the moor a second time on 8 December, and claimed to have located Bennett's burial site,[155][156] but the body was never found. Her subsequent applications for parole were denied.
