Good.

That is all.

Hope he's in hell with the other sadistic bitch

RedDogsBeg · 16/05/2017 17:18

Cremate him and flush his ashes down the toilet, no need for any rememberance of him, no service, just dispose of him quickly and quietly.

Butterymuffin · 16/05/2017 17:19

Good on the coroner if that's correct. He didn't fulfil Winnie Johnson's dying wish to know where her son was buried. Don't see why his should be sacrosanct.

PortiaCastis · 16/05/2017 18:09

Why does he deserve this attention

CricketRuntAndRashers · 16/05/2017 18:19

Also further news that the coroner is refusing to release his body until given assurances that his ashes will not be scattered on Saddleworth Moor.

If that is indeed the case... Well, what a brave and upstanding coroner.

wizzywig · 16/05/2017 18:20

Does that mean ian brady requested he be cremated and his ashes spread there?

spidey66 · 16/05/2017 18:25

I used to think 'let him die' due to his repeated 'hunger strikes' (I now doubt these were as bad as all that) but actually that's what he wanted, so changed my mind. Also the longer he lived, the more likely he'd be to reveal the location of Keith Bennet's body. (Not that he ever did but we lived in hope.)

questsabelletreetop · 16/05/2017 18:38

He was an evil cunt. I'm fully prepared to accept a ban but he was nothing short of evil. The lives he destroyed, the ways in which he did it, the sheer perverse pleasure he got from refusing to disclose the location of his victims, he should have been tortured every day of his life til he gave that information up. Nobody has the right to die with dignity when they've removed the dignity - in life and death - of others.

Well said m.

HelsinkiLights · 16/05/2017 18:44

That man (I refuse to type his name) was so evil, that I think even the Devil would find him abhorrent.

Aeroflotgirl · 16/05/2017 19:09

Good is all I can say, hope they dump his ashes in the rubbish. Good for the coroner banning his wish for his ashes to be scattered where the children he murdered lay, totally disrespectful and evil. Why should he be with them.

freshmilktoday · 16/05/2017 19:09

R4 seemed to indicate that he hadn't necessarily made any request to have his ashes scattered at Saddleworth but I think just making absolutely sure. God what a dreadful heinous thing that would be - the poor families.

I heard the solicitor on R4 this morning talking to Sarah Montgomery and he gave me the utter creeps, all that hinting at conversations they used to have .... wtf??

Aeroflotgirl · 16/05/2017 19:11

IB had no friends or family, so I think that it was his wish to be scattered on Saddleworth Moor.

Aeroflotgirl · 16/05/2017 19:19

I remember years back watching a Documentary about the pair, and hearing a tape that there was, with that little girl begging for her life, calling Hindly 'mummy', she was trying to appeal to her maternal nature, but of course that evil piece of rubbish, had none.

JoshLymanJr · 16/05/2017 19:27

what makes me better than people like Brady is the fact I don't torture and kill children

I'd have thought the minimum standards of a modern society should be higher than that.

Aeroflotgirl · 16/05/2017 19:45

Just as evil as Thompson and Venables,, Roy Whiting, Ian Huntley, Mark Bridger et al.

MumIsRunningAMarathon · 16/05/2017 20:08

There's plenty of people out there like him..... still to be born even. Could be our own child,parent,neighbour, partner or friend. All with families too

Did Brady have surviving family? I don't know. But I do feel sympathy for his relatives.

He's gone, but there will be someone else to take his place.

PortiaCastis · 16/05/2017 20:10

Rotting in hell is to good for him, he didn't care about those children or their families

paddypants13 · 16/05/2017 20:18

Apparently the coroner has refused to release his body until he is assured his ashes will not be scattered on Saddleworth Moor. I hope to God his ashes are just thrown in the bin.

Flowers for his victims.

whereas · 16/05/2017 20:33

Someone was saying elsewhere today that Hindley requested her ashes to be scattered on her 'beloved Saddleworth Moor' but instead they were scattered somewhere nearby. I don't know how true that is, but am glad Brady's will not be either.

RoseAndRose · 16/05/2017 21:28

If it's true that he had no friends (unsurprising) and no surviving family (who arprepqred to have anything to do with him), then presumably it's a pauper's funeral in the council?

So it should be easy to get the required assurance that the ashes will be disposed of other than on the moor.

Or am I missing something?

PinkSparklyPussyCat · 16/05/2017 21:34

I hope no other clients use his solicitor. I couldn't do business with anyone linked to an evil piece of scum like Brady.

But that is the tenet of our legal system. Everyone is entitled to representation ergo someone has to represent. We're onto a very sticky wicket if we arbitrarily make decisions as to who is or isn't entitled to legal representation

BoldKitties · 16/05/2017 21:59

Fluffypinkpyjamas, as the post that you quoted was in response to mine, I assume it's me to whom you are referring as an 'odd one' and a 'dogooder' who should 'save my sympathy' for the parents of murder victims.

If you could point out any post where I expressed sympathy for Ian Brady, please do so. In fact, I clearly said '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'. Could you please indicte where exactly there I sympathised with Ian Brady?

Or where I failed to sympathise with the families of his victims, given that I also said 'Let the fucker fade into obscurity. Remember his victims. Let us never forget them'.

Disagree with me, by all means. Just do it with a better argument than calling me an odd, do-gooder, murder sympathiser when my posts on this very thread clearly indicte that I certainly am not. It's reactonary and lazy. Formulate an actual point, based on what I have actually said, and then argue it.

PinkSparklyPussyCat · 16/05/2017 22:05

That's just my opinion though, I wouldn't want to use a solicitor who dealt with someone like that and I wouldn't shed any tears if his practice went under.

Everyone is entitled to legal representation, I don't disagree with that. However I get the impression that this solicitor enjoyed being associated with Brady. How dare he say that the final meeting was quite moving? How about keeping quiet and showing some respect for the victims' families?
