And what I said was so important I posted it twice lol :-DNot quite sure how I did it so may not be able to do it again

Brady has been barking mad for years now - I know that first hand from one of my colleagues who met him' at Broadmoor I think it was' about 25 years ago - my colleague was accompanying a patient from our psychiatric hospital to Brady's - he saw Brady whilst he was there and said he could only describe him as a "basket case" - if he was like that all that time ago he is hardly going to have improved in any way and no way does that man have a conscience of any kind - he enjoys torturing people and he will continue to do so until the day he dies - poor Winnie is the only one left he can have any control over and he ain't going to let that go - if this is true and that woman has such a letter I hope they throw the book at her

Nutty Sue - I agree with the point in general but I think it could have been made in a more constructive way.

Well it was on the spur of the moment rose I will try and be more original next time. I must say I agree with you if a serial killer gave me a letter that could possibly identify where his victim is buried I wouldn't hang on to it to fulfil his instructions I would give it to the police especially as the poor boys mother is dying and would probably like to leave this world knowing where her boy is. I find her behaviour really strange not quite sure what her angle is as yet

TBH aivyS has a point, speculation and accusation is pointless until FACTS emerge. You cannot assign someone a mental state unless they have been diagnosed as such.

Sue (the nutty one)

All my friend Tan did was put up a thread that she thought would be of interest - why can't you just leave it alone Sylvia. There isn't a single thread you have gone on that you haven't rubbished :-|

lol Wend :-D

Don't tempt me ;-)

Can someone please come up with a more original insult than "board police"? it really is just "too, too passe my dears".

Board police ? think you will find their are plenty of them on here ..lol.. no you go for it .. spout all you want ..

Have to be honest our Rose, this struck me as a case of 15 minutes of fame. IF she did disclose this during the filming of a documentary (and the producer absolutely did the right thing in reporting the claim) then she IS guilty of pure contempt of Keith's mother's feelings of anguish.

I will still wait and see if there is any basis in truth.

I cannot believe that Brady would have an attack of conscience.

I feel an rr coming on for me soon if I say what I think so, cutting it down by 99%

Is it not prejudicial to her role as his advocate anyway ( which to be honest I can't imagine doing for 13 years unless one was either: a)strange b) intent on writing a book to boost your pension or c) very very high minded on the principle of justice for all) to be having any dealings with the media?

The very sad thing about all this is that even if he does remember where Keith Bennett is buried the moors have changed so much that the police have already said they do not hold out much hope of finding him.

I believe the Police always have had a rough idea of the area where Keith Bennett should be and despite many searches using all the latest equipment nothing has ever been found.

And remember Winnie and her family also spent years searching the moors themselves.

My heart goes out to Winnie and her family. I hope that she gets some closure before she herself passes on.

Funnily enough Sylvia I will say what I please just as you do on a fairly regular basis .go and be board police on another thread if you don't like it

I have this awful gut feeling that it may be another wild goose chase.
My heart goes out Keith's mother Winnie who according to Sky News is now in a Hospice.

It was his legal advocate who was quoted as saying there was a letter

"Speaking to Sky News this morning, Jackie Powell would not confirm if such a letter exists, adding that her words 'have been blown out of all proportion.'

Previously she told the Daily Mirror: 'I received a letter and a sealed envelope which said on the front "to be opened in the event of my death".

'He says he doesn't wish to take his secrets to the grave and within the sealed envelope is a letter to Winnie Johnson. Within that is the means of her possibly being able to rest.'
Meanwhile Channel 4, which commissioned the documentary 'Ian Brady: Endgames of a Psychopath', has released this transcript on an interview with Brady's legal advocate Jackie Powell.


'I received a letter and a sealed envelope which said on the front of it, to be opened in the event of my death,' she said.

'He says that he doesn't wish to take secrets to his grave and that within the sealed envelope is a letter to Winnie Johnson and that within that is the means to her possibly being able to rest. And that's paraphrase that's not verbatim.'

Officers from Greater Manchester Police searched Powell's home, and Brady's cell at the high-security Ashworth Hospital in Merseyside, but no letter has so far been found.

Martin Bottomley, head of the force's cold case crime unit, said: "What we are looking at is the possibility, and at this stage it is only a possibility, that Ian Brady has written a letter to Keith's mum Winnie Johnson which was not to be opened until after his death.

"We do not know if this is true or simply a ruse, but we clearly have a duty to investigate such information on behalf of Keith's family.




I hope to God that this claim has substance but I'll wait until concrete proof has been found.

Get the facts before you start on this .. it was NOT a liked minded sicko it was his solicitor FFS

Mmm that is interesting Geordie pride
