The names Ian Brady and Myra Hindley still evoke horror decades after their reign of terror in the 1960s. Known as the Moors Murderers, the couple committed some of the most heinous crimes in British history, abducting, torturing, and killing children before burying their victims on Saddleworth Moor.
The Crimes That Shocked a Nation
Between 1963 and 1965, Brady and Hindley lured five children to their deaths, with the youngest victim being just 10 years old. Their crimes were marked by extreme cruelty, and the discovery of their victims' bodies sent shockwaves across the UK.
The Trial and Aftermath
Following their arrest in 1965, the pair were convicted of multiple murders. Brady received life imprisonment, while Hindley was also sentenced to life, spending over 30 years behind bars before her death in 2002. Brady died in 2017, never revealing the location of one victim's remains.
A Dark Chapter in British History
The case remains one of the most infamous in UK criminal history, with the Moors Murders symbolising pure evil. The haunting images of Hindley and the grim details of their crimes continue to fascinate and horrify in equal measure.
