Last time the papers will get a circulation boost from him I guess, he'll be missed by them.

 

[Bahnhof Strasse]

Escaped the noose by months, I still believe that 50+ years in prisons and mostly, and especially, hospitals for the criminally insane is a far worse fate that pissing when you can't whistle.

 

[weltweit]

Good riddance ...

 

[dessiato]

Normally I would feel some sadness at a person's passing, and would wish them RIP. I'm afraid I cannot in this case. Years ago I read a transcript of the trial, it still haunts me. He and Hindley did some dreadful things to the children.

 

[Pickman's model]

Ah well

 

[DotCommunist]

Lets not forget this POS was still game playing over the location of kieth bennets body for years, his mother died knowing brady knew where the body was. Riddance.

 

[StoneRoad]

He never did reveal all of the graves ...

I suspect that 50+ years in prison / hospital was a worse punishment than the noose.

 

[Magnus McGinty]

Doesn't deserve a thread the nonce scum.

 

[butchersapron]

Let the thread end here - no comments nothing. Dead

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

He could have revealed the location of Keith's body and given his mother some semblance of peace. He chose not to. I hope his final years were filled with as much pain and misery as possible.

People in Manchester may remember a local night-time talk show hosted by James Stannage. Keith Bennetts mum was a regular caller - god it was heartbreaking. She could never ever let go, and who would say she should even if they wished she could?

Moors Murderer Ian Brady dies - BBC News

Moors Murderer Ian Brady, who killed five children with Myra Hindley, has died aged 79.

A Mersey Care NHS Foundation Trust spokesman said: "We can confirm a 79-year-old patient in long term care at Ashworth High Secure Hospital has died after becoming physically unwell."

Brady was jailed for three murders in 1966 and later confessed to two more.

He had been held at Ashworth Hospital, a secure psychiatric unit in Merseyside, since 1985.

Notorious murderer who refused to show remorse

Brady had been on successive hunger strikes since 1999 arguing he should be allowed to die, but had been force-fed because he was considered mentally ill.

He campaigned for several years to be moved from Ashworth to a Scottish prison, where he would not be force-fed and be allowed to die if he wished.

Brady and Hindley, who died in prison in 2002, tortured and murdered five children in the 1960s in crimes that shocked the nation.

Four of the victims were buried on Saddleworth Moor, near Oldham, Greater Manchester.

Brady was jailed for the killings of 12-year-old John Kilbride, Lesley Ann Downey, aged 10, and Edward Evans, 17, in 1966.

He later admitted the murders of Pauline Reade, 16, and Keith Bennett, who was 12.

Brady has never revealed where Keith Bennett's remains were buried, despite numerous appeals for him to do so.

May he rest in pig shit

*shrugs*

happy it got dragged out as long as it did ..

he deserved it...

 

[Archimage]

I've heard of him and his wife. He's the one that taped one of the children screaming as he slowly torture the child to death, lasting some 15 minutes.
We have a few sickos over here also..

 

[spanglechick]

And as i think, "that's eight years longer than my wonderful dad lived. How can that be fair?" The only consolation is knowing he wanted to die and was denied that mercy.

There are not many that generate that little compassion... but that fucker didn't suffer enough. His sick fucking power games with Bennett's burial site.

 

[not-bono-ever]

2017 is starting to look better

 

[spanglechick]

I've heard of him and his wife. <snip>.

Really? You think anyone needed the ghoulish details?

She wasn't married to him, fwiw.

Sorry did not appear on original thread search.
Ian Brady (the Moors murderer) is dead

 

[Wilf]

Hadn't heard about this till I saw the thread. Whilst he was the worst kind of scum and I'd have wished him every kind of torment in life, his death feels strangely irrelevant. It's sort of as if he's been dead for years, just a malicious corpse walking round, wanting to die.

 

[Bonfirelight]

Im not sad or anything, but he did some good stuff with the Lightning Seeds, so wasn't all bad.

Fuck off.

 

[Griff]

One of those people I couldn"t imagine being in the same room with, can only imagine the horrible vibe he must have had.

Ghastly excuse of a human being. Yuk!

 

[Spymaster]

He was pretty good for Arsenal

 

[Yossarian]

So the Daily Mail and the Telegraph etc. are going to get all self-righteous cheering about the death of someone who killed five children 50 years ago, then continue telling people to vote for a party that is going to put hundreds of thousands of children into poverty in the years to come.

 

[nardy]

Ah well

What, precisely, is this comment supposed to mean?

Yeah, what do five dead kids matter in the light of politics?

What else is there to say? The fucker is dead. 'Ah well' is about the only thing you can say.

Think you may have to look at the bigger picture nardy.
