It appears Ian Brady has given up the location of Keith Bennetts body to one of his long term visitors . The visitor has been arrested and police are searching an address fingers crossed this family get there sons remains after all these years

I hope so too Tania, maybe he has found a conscience in his latter years. It would let Keith Bennett's Mum finally lay her son's body to rest before her time comes to join her son.

I don't know Liz the police arrested the visitor so it sounds a bit like he has found himself another like minded sicko. It would be nice to think he had a conscience though after all this time .

Just seems strange that he finally talked about it, butany visitor of his would have to be strange, hope something comes of it anyway for Keith Bennett's Mum's sake.

Lets hope his Dear mum gets closure now .its about time .words cant describe .how evil those two were all those yrs ago Barbra

I suggest you all read Sky News report on this subject.

I thought Keith's mother had recently died. Leaves a nasty taste if he waited until then to reveal the place the remains were left in.
:-( :-( :-( :-(

Mmm that is interesting Geordie pride

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

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.

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.'

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.

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

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.

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?

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.

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

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

Don't tempt me ;-)

lol Wend :-D
