Police are digging up grasslands in a search for Moors murder victim Keith Bennett after a skull was discovered. The young boy was abducted 58 years ago by notorious killers Ian Brady and Myra Hindley, but his remains have never been found.
Now, investigators are preparing to excavate an area of Saddleworth Moor after a skull - believed to be of a, roughly, 12-year-old child - was uncovered. Last night, forensic anthropologists working with Greater Manchester Police took potential samples of body tissue found in the area to be examined, the Mirror reports.
It is hoped the breakthrough will help detectives finally resolve the infamous case after six decades. Keith Bennett is the only Moors murders victim who has never been found after Glasgow -born Brady and his partner refused to reveal the location of his body.
