Good.

That is all.

Good.But as others have said also difficult as he will never say where the little boy is......the hope of that is gone. Glad i was not one of the nurses having to provide palliative care.

Terfing · 15/05/2017 23:18

The moral high ground is overrated, especially when it comes to scum like this.

Working people have to rely upon food banks, yet this piece of shit had so much money spent on him! Angry

BoldKitties · 15/05/2017 23:19

I kind of agree with Elendon and Jaques. I'm not sad that he's dead, not even a tiny bit. He was a dispicable shit stain on the face of humanity. Is the world a better place without him? Absolutely.

But I try to retain my humanity. I never want to become someone who hopes another human died painfully or was tortured. That's what makes us different to those who murder and torture. That's what makes us better than them.

And I completely agree re not giving them the notoriery that the likes of him crave. Let the fucker fade into obscurity. Remember his victims. Let us never forget them.

AllThePrettySeahorses · 15/05/2017 23:20

Good riddance to it. It's a shame the monstrosity's ashes will still pollute the earth. If only there were a way to completely destroy them. And fully agree the autobiography should never be published - check if it has any useful info and then burn that too.

HappyFlappy · 15/05/2017 23:21

It's the fact that people like Brady are given palliative care, given treatment that makes us better that he is

That is exactly right Jaques. But I hope none of the people who had the misfortune to have to nurse him gave him the time of day in human terms.

Keith Bennett Flowers

Shootfirstaskquestionslater · 15/05/2017 23:23

He was pure evil and am glad he's dead I hope he suffered at the end he should'be died long ago when he went on a hunger strike. The only people I feel sorry for are his victims families especially Keith Bennette's family I hope to God that one day they find that poor boys body.

BoldKitties · 15/05/2017 23:23

And I completely agree with EasilyDistracted77. He deserves no obituarys, no mention even. Put it out there that he's died, let the families celebrate how they see fit (and personally I wouldn't blame them if they celebrated) then stop giving him coverage. Fuck him.

Beelzebop · 15/05/2017 23:28

Love and peace to all those affected by his evil. X

SuperPug · 15/05/2017 23:29

I can't believe in a hell or heaven. But I do hope that his remaining years were miserable, empty and he was tormented by his thoughts.

Sostenueto · 15/05/2017 23:30

He didn't have a comfortable life he was force fed for years. Even that was too good for him. I feel most for the families and now I hope the poor children can finally rest in peace.

SuperPug · 15/05/2017 23:31

Happy, I very much agree. Although it makes me sick to think about the care he would have received at the taxpayers' expense, when so many thoroughly decent people cannot have hospice / palliative care for a sustained period.

CoolCarrie · 15/05/2017 23:31

I wish some wealthy, kind person would foot the bill to have a huge intensive search of those moors and find Keith so his family can have peace. They deserve that, they always have.

hotritenow · 15/05/2017 23:31

I hope died roaring.....evil scum....

Beerwench · 15/05/2017 23:34

I'm glad he's no longer a burden on society. My thoughts are with the families of his victims. Flowers
Hopes that they find something in his belongings to indicate where Keith Bennett is so his family can lay him to rest.
Ian Brady is worth no more of our time.

sureitsgrand · 15/05/2017 23:35

I hope he died roaring.

TSSDNCOP · 15/05/2017 23:36

I hope that he died in utter, screaming agony. And that he is just burned now and unmarked. Not a single person on the planet to grieve.

To the Evans family tonight, bless you.

HappyFlappy · 15/05/2017 23:37

stop giving him coverage. Fuck him

This ^ , as Kitties has said.

He would be loving it if he could read everyone's reactions- it didn't bother him being hated - he thrived on it!

it makes me sick to think about the care he would have received at the taxpayers' expense, when so many thoroughly decent people cannot have hospice / palliative care for a sustained period

Agree Superpug. But in a way it did torment him, because he had wanted to die for a long time - he didn't get to choose his time, and that was galling for him.

TSSDNCOP · 15/05/2017 23:39

There's an autobiography? No self-respecting publisher should ever print it. Let one buy the rights and publicly burn it.

QuietCorday · 15/05/2017 23:43

He was a despicable creature, right to the very end.

I loathed the man, particularly as there is some evidence, like with Fred West and Peter Sutcliffe, that there may have been other victims. Hindley and Brady's stories never quite made sense, and I believe the police should have been a lot more suspicious of their accounts of events.

I hope they do find something in his effects. I hope that supposed letter about Keith's grave is finally released to police. And part of me is glad that they'll struggle to find a funeral director to take on the body.

UrsulaPandress · 15/05/2017 23:50

I wonder where the tapes are. Shudder.

And without wanting to argue with anyone, I doubt very much if he could have pinpointed where Keith was buried after all this time. I know the moors well and they are hard to pin down. And the peat is constantly moving.

wobblywonderwoman · 15/05/2017 23:51

RIP to all the victims and their wonderful brave families who have had to cope through all of this evil Flowers

GrimDamnFanjo · 16/05/2017 00:05

Keith's brother Alan has worked tirelessly for many years with the police and with other professionals to bring him home. He and others are fairly certain of where Keith is. I hope Brady's death gets another search underway. You can find out more at www.searchingforkeith.com

Ceto · 16/05/2017 00:10

Why on earth do people claim that they might be banned for saying he was evil scum? You can't libel a dead man, and even if he was alive self-evidently that isn't libel.

I do get slightly sick of people trying to suggest darkly that they are being or might be censored when there is so obviously no chance of that happening.

Justaboy · 16/05/2017 00:11

Can easily understand the desire to hang him an possibly her too but he was mentally ill and would it be worse on society if we took the lives of mentally ill people despite what they have done?.

Anyway hanging was abolished in 1965 and they weren't convicted until 1996 IIRC.
