Myra Hindley's private papers reveal hatred for Ian Brady

  • 5 years ago
Private documents handed over by Myra Hindley just hours before her death reveal the hatred between her and Ian Brady - as she accused him of drugging, raping and beating her. In graphic detail, Hindley describes a catalogue of sadistic abuse by Brady including violent rape, regular throttling and threats of murder if she did not comply. The papers were personally handed over by Hindley as she was escorted from HMP Highpoint to the West Sussex Hospital where she died later that day in 2002. They formed part of an appeal to reduce her life sentence - which motivated Brady to write to Home Secretary Jack Straw in a bid to scupper her efforts.
