Ian Brady descended into Hell yesterday.
Brady and his girlfriend Myra Hindley were the infamous “Moors Murderers”. Between 1963 and 1965, they killed five children. Four of them were buried on Saddleworth Moor: the body of the fifth has never been found. Brady and Hindley were convicted of three murders in 1966.
Moors murders from Wikipedia. There is more to the crime than I’m discussing here, because nobody needs to read that shit first thing in the morning. Both the obituary linked above and the Wikipedia entry give those details, but I strongly suggest you think carefully before following those links.
By the way, Hindley died in 2002.
Edited to add: NYT obit. This gives a longer and more comprehensive summary for a non-UK audience, in my opinion. Same content warning applies.
