Police spend sixth day searching Saddleworth Moor for remains of Moors Murders victim Keith Bennett

Police are continuing to search Saddleworth Moor for the remains of Moors Murders victim Keith Bennett. Officers started digging in the area last Friday (September 30) following information supplied by an amateur sleuth who has spent years looking for the child.

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.

With the search now well into its sixth day, GMP forensic experts have failed to find any identifiable human remains. Images taken this afternoon show several officers in white suits continuing to comb the rugged, remote moorland.
