Ian Brady and Myra Hindley kidnapped, tortured, and murdered five children, burying at least four of the bodies on Saddleworth Moor, over a three year period during the 1960s in Manchester, England. They were finally stopped when Hindley’s brother-in-law, David Smith, reported their fifth murder to police because he had been forced to watch and assist in covering up the crime scene. Both Brady and Hindley were convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison, callously taking the location of their third victim’s remains, Keith Bennett, to the grave when they passed away behind bars. The BBC called the Moors Murders as well as Brady and Hindley “British society’s benchmark for evil.”
