Evil Ian Brady's sick dying wish was twisted final joke to punish his victims

Evil Ian Brady played a sick final prank on his victims as he lay dying in a hospital, but now they are finally getting some justice. Brady and his partner, Myra Hindley, are the Moors Murderers and are the UK's most infamous serial killers.

After murdering their victims, Brady and Hindley disposed of the bodies on Saddleworth Moor, on the outskirts of Greater Manchester. One victim, Keith Bennet, was never found and for the past 58 years his relatives were left in the dark as Brady took the secret to his grave.

In 2017, when Brady was dying in 'agonising pain' in Ashworth Hospital, he told those present that he wanted his ashes to be scattered over Saddleworth Moor - where the body of young Keith was still hidden. But now, the body may have been found as police are digging up the moors after a skull was found.
