'Only finding Keith will bring closure'
Daily Express
|July 31, 2025
PAGES thought to be missing from Moors killer Ian Brady's memoir may reveal where he he buried victim Keith Bennett.
-
The final 200 pages of his Black Light manuscript could hold his account of the murder and burial of 12-yearold Keith in 1964. They are believed to have been deposited with Brady's solicitor.
Brady, left, and Myra Hindley buried four of their five victims on Saddleworth Moor but Keith's remains have
never been located despite several major searches, Brady and Hindley were jailed in 1966 for torturing and killing Lesley Ann Downey, 10, John Kilbride, 12, and Edward Evans, 17.
Twenty-one years later they finally confessed to murdering Pauline Reade, 16, and Keith, as had long been suspected. Pauline’s remains were found on the Greater Manchester moorland in 1987 — but Keith is still missing.
His campaigning brother Alan has called for all additional material, such as the autobiography segment, to be made available to police as it could contain “vital information in regard to the search for Keith”.
Alan Bennett was informed of the development by the makers of new documentary The Moors Murders - A Search For Justice, featuring longtime writer on the crime Duncan Staff, which is now on BBC iPlayer.
The Bennett family’s lawyer asked the programme team to let police know about Black Light, adding: “It is unfortunate that documents left behind by Ian Brady which he said would lead to finding Keith have not been revealed. Hopefully, investigations by Greater Manchester Police will be successful in obtaining access to them.
“It is only when Keith is found that there can be any relief and closure for the family.”
Defence files from Brady and Hindley’s Chester Crown Court trial in 1966 were recently found by Mr Staff, and photos raise new questions about the search for the victims.
