AIBU?

...rather than granting his wish to be scattered over the Moor to flush Ian Brady's ashes down the toilet?

Not that I would actually campaign for this, of course. I have other things to do.

Apparently, his wish may be that his ashes to be scattered on Saddleworth Moor. He should not have the final laugh at the victims, their families and all the people who were appalled at his despicable crimes. Saddleworth Moor must not be tainted by him any further.

There's no way that'll happen.

Where did this 'information' arise from?

KingJoffreysRestingCuntface · 17/05/2017 16:33

I agree.

Usually I'd saying 'dying wish', 'mentally unwell', 'never know what some people are going through', yadda yadda but in this case his ashes really are better off in the bin.

PortiaCastis · 17/05/2017 16:35

The coroner has ruled that this will not happen. No ashes on the moor

Kennethnoisewater · 17/05/2017 16:36

Who will be collecting his ashes and scattering them? As he has no known relations I've read?

ballerinabelle · 17/05/2017 16:36

I'd piss on them

PortiaCastis · 17/05/2017 16:37

The bbc say he did not want his ashes scattered on the moor

www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-manchester-39951962

IamaBluebird · 17/05/2017 16:38

Would leave his ashes in a bin in his prison. Then he'd never gain any sort of freedom.

Sparklingbrook · 17/05/2017 16:38

It's not happening anyway

www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-manchester-39951962

Sparklingbrook · 17/05/2017 16:38

Sorry Portia x post.

PortiaCastis · 17/05/2017 16:39

Its ok Sparkling

CaveMum · 17/05/2017 16:40

His lawyer is the executor of his Will so presumably he has responsibility for what happens to them.

Whilst the coroner has no legal powers to prevent it happening, fair play to him for refusing to release the body without assurances.

ilovesooty · 17/05/2017 16:41

Yet another thread giving him publicity? Another thread which will elicit the same responses as all the previous ones?
Incidentally the thread title sounds as though the OP has some decision making power over his ashes.

PortiaCastis · 17/05/2017 16:42

Put them in the sewer where they belong END OF

sugarhaste · 17/05/2017 16:42

If it is not happening - hooray. But "inquest hears" from this BBC link does not mean anything. I understand from the SkyNews on right now that the lawyer is not happy that the coroner gets involved in the deciding how a person can be burried. I looks like nothing is decided yet.

PortiaCastis · 17/05/2017 16:43

Who cares just bung them in the sewer

Sparklingbrook · 17/05/2017 16:44

Oh right. Our BBC links don't mean anything. Ok.

Sky News is the one to be listened to then.

sugarhaste · 17/05/2017 16:44

OP does not have "some decision making power over his ashes." The OP is a bit pissed off and maybe not worded the title properly.

...rather than granting his wish to be scattered over the Moor to WANT to flush Ian Brady's ashes down the toilet?

That is better.

mousymary · 17/05/2017 16:45

Not the sewer, thank you. Don't want them in my drinking water.

SlaveToDisney · 17/05/2017 16:46

I would keep them locked in his cell and then never to be moved and no-one to be moved into his cell. Just so he can never escape his prison and gain freedom of any kind.

Sparklingbrook · 17/05/2017 16:47

OP may be pissed off but chances are it won't be made known to the public what happens to his ashes.

sugarhaste · 17/05/2017 16:47

Did you read your own link Sparkling? "Ian Brady 'did not want his ashes scattered on moor', inquest hears"

"Inquest hears" does not mean anything more than someone has actually voiced it during inquest. It is not the conclusion.

KathySelden · 17/05/2017 16:48

I do feel they should have cremated and disposed of his ashes before releasing news of his death, just flushed them then told the public.. it may have stopped all this publicity from the news vultures. If the media really cared they would have just mentioned the killer of those poor children was dead and be done with it.

Sparklingbrook · 17/05/2017 16:49

Yes I read it

I am not sure this thread is achieving anything at all TBH.

PortiaCastis · 17/05/2017 16:50

I read it too and am not sure the bastard deserves all the publicity.

requestingsunshine · 17/05/2017 16:51

He just needs binning, or flushing down the toilet. And I don't want to see his disgusting face in the papers or the news anymore. Stop making us look at him. We do not want to look at this sick freak ever again.
