There was an and eerie and sombre atmosphere on the moors above Oldham today as specialist officers battled inclement weather during their resumed search for the remains of Moors Murders victim Keith Bennett.
Police began digging at a remote spot between Saddleworth and the border with West Yorkshire yesterday morning (Friday) after information from author Russell Edwards, who had been researching the murder of 12-year-old Keith by Ian Brady and Myra Hindley 58 years ago.
Greater Manchester Police (GMP) say they were shown photographs of what experts working with Mr Edwards believed to be part of a human jaw bone. Excavation of the site began and after having to be halted due to foul weather on Friday evening, it resumed early on Saturday morning.
