The brother of Moors murder victim Keith Bennett has praised the continuing efforts of the police to find his sibling's remains but expressed frustration that information from an amateur sleuth who sparked the latest dig has so far failed to find him.
The latest excavation began on Friday after author Edward Russell showed police pictures of what was described as part of a jaw bone, after working with a team of experts to try to find Keith's remains.
Police have dug 3ft down in the immediate area identified by Mr Russell and then several metres beyond that. As the search entered its fifth day, Keith's brother Alan Bennett publicly thanked the police but said he was 'confused, to say the least' that last week's new information has not yet yielded a positive result.
