Mother of Moors’ murder victim wants to face his killer Ian Brady

THE mother of Moors Murder victim Keith Bennett says she hopes to come “face-to-face” with her son’s killer, after a judge ruled Ian Brady will have his mental health tribunal held in public.

Judge Robert Atherton has granted permission for the hearing to be held in public, but no date has been set.

Brady and his partner, Myra Hindley, were responsible for the murders of five youngsters in the 1960s.

Hindley died in jail in November, 2002, aged 60. Brady has spent the last 25 years at the high-security Ashworth Hospital, in Merseyside.

He was born in Glasgow and wants to be transferred to a Scottish prison to be allowed to die.

Keith’s mother, Winnie Johnson, last night said she wanted to be at Brady’s hearing to see if he would reveal where he had buried her son.
