Police believe Moors murderer Ian Brady has revealed details about the location of the body of one of his victims.
It is thought Brady has disclosed the whereabouts of Keith Bennett - who has never been found - to one of his long-term visitors, Greater Manchester Police said in a statement. It comes weeks after Winnie Johnson, who has bowel cancer and fears she may not have much longer to live, made a final plea to Brady to tell her where her son was buried. The child was just 12 when he was snatched and murdered by Brady and accomplice Myra Hindley - who were responsible for the murders of five youngsters in the 1960s. Greater Manchester Police added that a 49-year-old woman has been arrested in South Wales on suspicion of preventing the burial of a body without lawful exercise and remains in police custody for questions. A force spokesman said: "On 30 July 2012, Greater Manchester Police received information that led officers to believe that Ian Brady had recently given details of the location of Keith Bennett's body to one of his long-term visitors. "Officers in the cold case unit made inquiries to accuracy of this report and have since had extensive contact with Ashworth hospital and Keith's close family. "As a result, warrants obtained under the Police and Criminal Evidence Act were executed at Ashworth hospital and a private address in South Wales today. "A 49-year-old woman has been arrested in South Wales on suspicion of preventing the burial of a body without lawful exercise and remains in police custody for questioning. Searches of both locations are ongoing." Sky I hope this is the case and the family finally get some closure. |
