[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. She said that she saw no possibility of release, and also exonerated Smith from any part in the murders other than that of Evans. In February 1964, she bought a second-hand Austin Traveller, but soon after traded it for a Mini van. 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. [228][229] The Manchester Evening News reported on possible fears that this would result in visitors choosing to avoid or vandalise the park. [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. He did not refer directly to Bennett by name and did not claim he could take investigators directly to the grave, but spoke of the "clarity" of his recollections. Brady was in the back of the van. 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. [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.

Brady returned alone after about thirty minutes, and took Hindley to the spot where Reade lay dying; Reade's clothes were in disarray and she had been nearly decapitated[67] by two cuts to the throat, including a four-inch incision across her voice box "inflicted with considerable force" and into which the collar of her coat and a throat chain had been pushed. They drove to Brady and Hindley's home at Wardle Brook Avenue, where they relaxed over a bottle of wine. [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". They then took her to Hindley's grandmother's house. [159][160] Hindley told Topping that she knew nothing of these killings. [107], The 14-day trial began in a specially-prepared court room at Chester Assizes before Justice Fenton Atkinson, on 19 April 1966. Eight days after he failed to return home, 2,000volunteers scoured waste ground and derelict buildings. The next day, Brady suggested that the four take a day-trip to Windermere. [34] Brady then gave her reading material and the pair spent their work lunch breaks reading aloud to one another from accounts of Nazi atrocities. He pleaded guilty to manslaughter and was sentenced to two days' detention. [130], On 3 July 1985, DCS Topping visited Brady, then being held at HM Prison Gartree in Leicestershire, but found him "scornful of any suggestion that he had confessed to more murders".

He was picked up by a police car from the phone box and taken to Hyde police station, where he told officers what he had witnessed in the night. [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. [62] Driving down Gorton Lane, Brady saw a young girl and signalled Hindley, who did not stop because she recognised the girl as an 8-year-old neighbour of her mother. [129] This followed claims in 2004 that Hindley had told another inmate that she and Brady had murdered a sixth victim, a teenage girl. [258] Hindley's role in the crimes also violated gender norms: her betrayal of the maternal role fed public perceptions of her "inherent evil", and made her a "poster girl" for moral panics about serial murder and paedophilia in subsequent decades. [158] Police, failing to discover any unsolved crimes matching the details that he supplied, decided that there was insufficient evidence to launch an official investigation. Hindley later claimed that she waited in the van while Brady took Reade onto the moor. [213][260] At the 1997 Sensation art exhibition, a reproduction composed of children's handprints caused controversy. Inside the house, they undressed Downey, gagged her, and tied her up.

The murders were the result of what Malcolm MacCulloch, professor of forensic psychiatry at Cardiff University, described as a "concatenation of circumstances".

Then I heard Myra shout, "Dave, help him," very loud. In November 1986, Bennett's mother wrote to Hindley begging to know what had happened to her son, a letter that Hindley seemed to be "genuinely moved" by. 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. [250] Bennett's mother continued to visit Saddleworth Moor, where it is believed that Bennett is buried. 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". In 1980, Maureen suffered a brain haemorrhage; Hindley was allowed to visit her in hospital, but arrived an hour after her death. [121], On 6 May, after having deliberated for a little over two hours,[123] the jury found Brady guilty of all three murders, and Hindley guilty of the murders of Downey and Evans. [112][113], Smith was the chief prosecution witness. Brady was diagnosed as a psychopath in 1985 and confined in the high-security Ashworth Hospital. Bennett's body is also thought to be buried there, but despite repeated searches it remains undiscovered. [35] Brady was taken to HM Prison Durham and Hindley was sent to HM Prison Holloway. At some point Brady sent Hindley to fetch Smith, her brother-in-law. [140] DCS Topping continued to visit Hindley in prison, along with her solicitor Michael Fisher and her spiritual counsellor, Peter Timms, who had been a prison governor before becoming a Methodist minister. [201] He was cremated without a ceremony, and his ashes disposed of at sea during the night. In Brady's account, Hindley was not only present for the attack, but participated in the sexual assault. [238] Downey's mother died in 1999 from cancer of the liver. Smith later told the police: I waited about a minute or two then suddenly I heard a hell of a scream; it sounded like a woman, really high-pitched. Various authors have stated that he tortured animals, although Brady objected to such accusations. A distressing tape recording of 10-year-old murder victim Lesley Ann Downey's final moments was played to a jury sitting at Chester Assizes in 1966. Amidst strong media interest Lord Longford pleaded for her release, writing that continuing her detention to satisfy "mob emotion" was not right. 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". 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. Smith had told police that Brady had boasted of "photographic proof" of multiple murders, and officers, struck by Brady's decision to remove the apparently innocent landscapes from the house, appealed to locals for assistance finding locations to match the photographs. He described Hindley as a "delightful" person and said "you could loathe what people did but should not loathe what they were because human personality was sacred even though human behaviour was very often appalling". [147] Hindley confirmed to police that the two areas in which they were concentrating their searchHollin Brown Knoll and Hoe Grainwere correct, although she was unable to locate either of the graves.

[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. At the house Downey was undressed, gagged, and forcibly posed for photographs before being raped and killed, perhaps strangled with a piece of string. Wearing a bread deliveryman's overall on top of his uniform, he asked Hindley at the back door if her husband was home. Her father was an alcoholic who was frequently violent towards his wife and children. But Brady, then 28, was given three concurrent life sentences for killing Edward Evans, Lesley Ann Downey and . [185] In 1999, his right wrist was broken in what he claimed was an "hour-long, unprovoked attack" by staff. [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. [36] In her 30,000-word plea for parole, written in 1978 and 1979 and submitted to Home Secretary Merlyn Rees, Hindley said:.mw-parser-output .templatequote{overflow:hidden;margin:1em 0;padding:0 40px}.mw-parser-output .templatequote .templatequotecite{line-height:1.5em;text-align:left;padding-left:1.6em;margin-top:0}, Within months he [Brady] had convinced me that there was no God at all: he could have told me that the earth was flat, the moon was made of green cheese and the sun rose in the west, I would have believed him, such was his power of persuasion. [192] Twenty years of transcribing classical texts into braille came to an end when the authorities confiscated Brady's translation machine, for fear it might be used as a weapon. [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. [50] Hindley hired a vehicle a week after Kilbride went missing, and again on 21 December, apparently to make sure the burial sites at Saddleworth Moor had not been disturbed. [136] Writing in 1989, Topping said that he felt "quite cynical" about Hindley's motivation in helping the police. [6] It was reported, for example, that Brady boasted of killing his first cat when he was aged just 10, and then went on to burn another cat alive, stone dogs and cut off rabbits' heads. Hindley began to emulate an ideal of Aryan perfection, bleaching her hair blonde and applying thick crimson lipstick. [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. [61], On 12 July 1963, Brady told Hindley that he wanted to commit the "perfect murder". [152], DCS Topping refused to allow Brady a second visit to the moor[151] before police called off their search on 24 August. They were Pauline Reade, John Kilbride, Keith Bennett, Lesley Ann Downey and Edward Evans. 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. [100], The investigating officers suspected Brady and Hindley of murdering other missing children and teenagers who had disappeared from areas in and around Manchester over the previous few years, and the search for bodies continued after the discovery of Kilbride's body, but with winter setting in it was called off in November. [115] During the trial, the judge and defence barristers repeatedly questioned Smith and his wife about the nature of the arrangement. 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". [55] On the same day, Lesley Ann Downey disappeared from a funfair in Ancoats. Hindley returned with Smith and told him to wait outside for her signal, a flashing light. [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.

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. In June 1957,[23] one of Hindley's closest friends, 13-year-old Michael Higgins, invited Hindley to go swimming with friends at a local disused reservoir, but she instead went out elsewhere with another friend. 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. [35][40][a] Although Hindley was not a qualified driver (she passed her test on 7 November 1963 after failing three times),[43] she often hired a van, in which the couple planned bank robberies.

[187] He was therefore force-fed and transferred to another hospital for tests after he fell ill.[188] Brady recovered and in March 2000 asked for a judicial review of the legality of the decision to force-feed him, but was refused permission. Hindley claimed that when Downey was being undressed she herself was "downstairs"; when the pornographic photographs were taken she was "looking out the window"; and that when Downey was being strangled she "was running a bath".

[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. At various times Hindley gave conflicting statements about the extent to which she, versus Brady, was responsible for Reade being selected as their first victim,[65] but said she felt that there would be less attention given to the disappearance of a teenager than of an 8-year-old. Both Hindley and Brady pleaded not guilty at their trial in Chester in April 1966. I want nothing, my objective is to die and release myself from this once and for all. This was the first time Brady and Smith had met properly, and Brady was apparently impressed by Smith's demeanour.
