The search for the remains of Moors Murders victim Keith Bennett has continued into a seventh day. On Thursday afternoon police were pictured at the dig site on Saddleworth Moor.
Officers began excavating an area near Dovestone Reservoir on September 30 after information supplied by an amateur sleuth who has spent years looking for the 12-year-old's body. Keith, who was abducted and killed by Ian Brady and Myra Hindley in 1964, is the only one of five young victims of the Moors murderers whose remains have never been found.
Author Russell Edwards passed on images of what was described as part of a jaw bone after working with a team of experts to try and find Keith's remains. But the search has so far produced 'no visible evidence to suggest the presence of human remains', police said.
