There has been a major breakthrough in the case of Moors Murder victim Keith Bennet, as a skull and pieces of fabric found matching description of the missing child.
58 years after he was kidnapped and murdered by Ian Brady and Myra Hindley, Police have began digging on the Moors once again after an AUTHOR discovered the potential remains.
Greater Manchester Police released the following statement:
Police investigating suspected remains discovered on the Moors
GMP Force Review Officer Martin Bottomley said: “At around 11.25am on Thursday 29 September 2022, Greater Manchester Police was contacted by the representative of an author who has been researching the murder of Keith Bennett, a victim of Ian Brady and Myra Hindley. Following direct contact with the author, we were informed that he had discovered what he believes are potential human remains in a remote location on the Moors and agreed to meet with officers yesterday afternoon to elaborate on his find and direct us to a site of interest.
“The site was assessed late last night and, this morning, specialist officers have begun initial exploration activity. We are in the very early stages of assessing the information which the author has brought to our attention but have made the decision to act on it in line with a normal response to a report of this kind.
“It is far too early to be certain whether human remains have been discovered and this is expected to take some time.
“We have always said that GMP would act on any significant information which may lead to the recovery of Keith and reunite him with his family. As such, we have informed his brother of the potential development - he does not wish to be contacted at this time and asks that his privacy is respected.”
Ian Brady and Myra Hindley both died behind bars without revealing where the school-boys body laid.
