I really do hope that this story is true and that they find Keith’s body and bring closure for his mother Winnie Johnston who has waited so long.

That rotting corpse as you so charmingly describe it was once her little boy.
I daresay she wants him to have a little dignity even after all this time.
I do remember the trial of Brady and Hindley and the tortures they inflicted on the children before killing them.
A decent burial would , I imagine, be some small comfort.

Bit harsh Moggy, means a lot to some folk.

Lay her child to rest?
You mean bury the rotting remains of its body in a different bit of ground than it is already in, forty or so years after life left that corpse?
And this is a good thing in some way?

Closure or need for closure are psychological terms that describe the desire or “need” some individuals have for information that will allow them to conclude an issue that had previously (for them at least) been clouded in ambiguity and uncertainty. Upon reaching this conclusion, they are now able to attain a state of epistemic “closure”.

What is ‘closure’?
Moggy
A mother wants to lay her child to rest.
I’d say what you call it doesn’t really matter.

What is ‘closure’?
It wasn’t invented when I was a lad. Now it seems compulsory for any relative to utter in a TV interview.
Does anybody know what it actually means?

The sooner this piece of human scum rots away and dribbles through the cracks the better.
What would a letter only to be opened on his death serve to aid him, apart a freakish pleasure he has when alive, he still has one of the innocents under his control.
Brady has been fed by tube for the past 12 years after refusing food,another attention seeking ruse as he knows officers cannot legally let him starve.
As for Keith Bennetts remains if he has given a location its been over 40 years since his murder and as the moores shift about naturally,it may be imposable to find the childs body unless by accident.

Mike, Perchance the CPS were not around when Brady did his dastardly deeds, but it did say the CPS decided that they were not going to take any further action re his last two victims.
As regards the S.A.S. that was metaphoricaly speaking, I think another way, would have been better Policing, ie, interrorgating, harder than what they have over the years, How many times, since his imprisonment has he been asked/interviewed regarding the place where he buried the young lad?.

Correct me if I am wrong but I do not think the CPS were around when Brady was brought to justice.
One has to ask, why would the SAS want to have anything to do with Brady ? Criminals are dealt with by the Police in this country.

Lets hope Brady’s confessions wre true, and that they find the body of the 12 yrs old lad, and hope it will bring closure, for his elderly mother.
How I hate those initials, “C.P.S.” who decided not to bring a prosecution against Brady for his last two murders.What made them come to that decision, Questions need to be asked re the CPS, as to why.
“Not in the Public Interest” what a load of Cra*, I well remember those days, and every member of the public was interested.
They should have handed over Brady to the S.A.S. I bet they would have got the answers quicker. If it were not for P.C. and Human rights, in many cases, things would get the service they deserve, and which we, the general public would want to see.JUSTICE.
Yet another instance of the way the Judicial System needs a good looking at.
