Still Away From Home

Ian Brady, one half of the Moors Murderers who is currently being held at Ashworth Hospital in Merseyside wants to be moved to a conventional prison so he can kill himself.

The 69 year old murderer has been on hunger strike for several years but is being kept alive by forced feeding says his treatment in captivity is in humane.

Brady is originally from Glasgow and was jailed alongside Myra Hindley in 1966 for murdering five children in the Manchester area in the 1960s.

Hindley died in jail in November 2002 after a long and unsuccessful bid to be released.

No date has yet been set for Brady's hearing.

16th June 1964, 12-year-old Keith Bennett was walking the short distance to his grandmother's house but never arrived.

He was killed by Hindley and Brady and buried in a shallow grave on Saddleworth Moor, his body has never been recovered.

Though caught and convicted, they were never charged with the murders of Keith Bennett or Pauline Reade, a girl of 16 who also disappeared without trace but whose body was found when they confessed to the killings 20 years later.

What a cheeky grin the lad had, he'd be grown up now with his own family and maybe a blog but he didn't even get a good chance at life, but he was loved and still is.

Keith's mother Winnie Johnson said: "He was a kid you could love,"

"There was no harm to him. He enjoyed life and was very interested in nature.

He used to pick up leaves and caterpillars and bring them home, and he collected coins."

She often goes to the Saddleworth moor.

"It can be desolate, but it is also very peaceful," she says.

"It is hard to explain, but it is like another world up there.

It is so quiet, and I always feel close to Keith. It is comforting. I cry more when I am at home."

"It is leaving the moors that is hard. I just want to be able to pick him up and take him home."

"I pray to God that this is the year Keith is found."

I pray too, what evil creatures those two people were, Hindley towards the end found God and says she is forgiven, I really doubt that. Mrs Johnson has written to Brady but got no reply, I say in this instance to keep the fucker alive as long as possible, he really wants to die so keep him alive and suffering the forced feeding, they took away five innocent futures, their future should be as bleak as possible until they get to Hell.
