Police issue update after third day of search for Moors murders victim Keith Bennett

Officers are still to find any 'identifiable' human remains after spending a third consecutive day searching for Keith Bennett on Saddleworth Moor. Greater Manchester Police has been checking the area since Friday (September 30) after receiving information from an amateur sleuth.

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. Keith was one of the five young victims of the Moors murders, having been killed aged just 12 by Ian Brady and Myra Hindley in 1964.

Through fierce downpours and heavy winds, forensic investigators searched the scene on Friday and Saturday, before returning to kinder weather conditions today (Sunday). A constant breeze and the occasional squawking of birds were the only disruptions as police continued to work on the scene.
