Evil child killer dead after 51 years in jail

-

MOORS Murderer Ian Brady – the longest serving prisoner in England and Wales – has died at the age of 79.

The monster, who had been receiving end-of-life care before his death, was convicted of killing children in 1966 alongside his twisted girlfriend Myra Hindley – dubbed the “most hated woman in Britain”.

He died on Monday just before 6pm (local time), The Sun reported.

He was declared criminally insane in 1985 and moved to the high-security Ashworth Hospital in Merseyside.

Brady was on a hunger strike since 1999 and was kept alive by being force-fed a liquid nutrition mix. This year he revealed he was dying of a terminal lung and chest condition and had been bedridden for two years.

He was given nursing care.
