Twelve-year-old Keith Bennett was one of the five victims of Ian Brady and Myra Hindley, with three of them later found buried on Saddleworth Moor. The schoolboy’s body was never found following his disappearance in 1964.
Greater Manchester police started a dig in search of Keith after author Russell Edwards claimed to have discovered a likely grave for the boy. Along with Lesley Dunlop, a geologist at Northumbria University, Mr Edwards dug up an area on Saddleworth Moors. Ms Dunlop said that they had found a child’s skull in the peat. She said: “I do believe there are human remains there. I saw the teeth, I could see the canines, I could see the incisors.”
