I wonder what the cost of keeping Brady and Hindley in prison for so long was?
Shame they couldn't have gone back to the old days with them and keep them in a small room and never let them out with just meagre food rations. Something to make them both really suffer.
I guess with nowadays, with human rights nutcases on their backs, prisoners have to be allowed exercise, good food, televisions, etc.
I wonder what the warders thought having to look after him. I would have spat in his food every time I had to deliver it! |  | | |

I don't think he even remembered - or cared. He just used it as an excuse to stoke up his egotistical public notoriety every now and then. |
Listening to some legal person who represented Keith Bennett's family, on radio 4 this morning, he also used it as bargaining chip to try to engineer a move away from Ashworth to a more comfortable prison place. |  |

Surely there's no grey area on this one though?
They're complete and utter c***s and I can't (and haven't) found anyone who's disagreed that they are 100% evil |
There was considerable debate about the culpability of Hindley. She does not appear to have been the instigator of their actions and some considered that Brady played on her vulnerabilities to lead her into being his accomplice.
Then there is the question of Brady's mental health.
Not suggesting these are valid excuses for what they did (tho some have). But, as ever, things are rarely 100% clear cut. |  |

Well, yes he was, but some people are still fascinated by such individuals. |
A man, who was inevitably going to spend the rest of his life in prison, has died. Not really news as far as I'm concerned, but it gives the media yet another excuse to go into all the details of his vile crimes. |  |

I watched a fair bit of 'Britains most notorious killers' and these two were the focus of an episode and the cost was well into 7 figures |  |

I'd have liked the resources spent on that evil pair to have been spent on supporting the victims' families. Imagine having to spend the rest of your life sentenced to imagining what your child went through before they died. |  |

There's an obituary on the BBC news website. Why have they done that? Who on Earth wants to read an obituary of that scumbag? |
I read it. I didn't know much about the case so found it of interest. |  |

One of the arguments for restraint when it comes to the death penalty and the cost of keeping people like Brady in prison (although in the USA the cost of the appeals process around executions often outweighs the cost of continuing imprisonment) is that study of serial killers, abusive individuals and paedophiles helps criminologists and psychiatrists understand their motives, character traits and modus operandi.
This in turn should aid early identification of offenders prior to the worst offences, rapid capture of criminals once a major crime has been committed and factors in society that contribute to the formation of a serial killer.
When some credibility can be attributed to the theories that come out of this process then exposure to those theories can be distributed to a wider public in either non-fiction (documentaries etc.) or fictional (novels, films, plays) form and amplify the tools for dealing with the difficult task of early identification and awareness of things that are going wrong in society. Well, that is one of the theories anyway... |  |

He's the single best argument against the death penalty we have ever had the fortune of having in this country. This piece of sh1t loathed every second he was forced to share a planet with the rest of us and submit to the authority of his supposed inferiors. Just a shame he didn't endure another few decades of it. |  | | |

Not really is it, as 2 families would never had got to bury their loved one , and it was exactly what Brady wanted. |  |

If that was exactly what Brady wanted why did he not hang himself?
I imagine that he thrived on being notorious and also on the added torment that he was causing to Keith Bennett's mum. |  | | |

One good thing is that once he is buried we shan't be forking out money to pay for his prison existence. |
Pretty sure he and Hindley wouldn't have been buried.
Straight to the crem, do not pass go. |  |

Why not? Its what he did. I also don't see why taxpayers should pay to provide for someone like that. Get the information we need as quickly as possible then just get rid of him. Simple, cheap and effective. | |

Well if you will answer your own questions there's no need for the rest of us to. |  | | |

*shrug*
I'd rather that than boast about behaving in the same manner as a notorious psychopath. Don't see how that helps anyone. [Post edited 16 May 2017 15:02]

Easier said than due in max security prison I would imagine. | |

I would have thought that there would have been several people there happy to help him.
Both residents and staff.
Agree it would probably not be easy but certainly not impossible. | | | |

Didn't he say that he didn't know what made him do those terrible things?
I'd say that it was evil, and he & Hindley were the living proof that it exists in humans. |
I would say that we all have a capacity to behave in various ways. What causes someone to commit heinious acts like this is undoubtedly a combination of many things, stuff we can barely begin to put together.
Simply branding someone as 'evil' does not help.
I think the 'not knowing is a living hell. All too often the disappearance of a child makes headlines for a while then it quietens down. Yet for the mother that must be living hell every moment she is awake. How many 'went missing' in the 60's or 70's never to turn up. Possibly the work of the same person.
It puts a lot of what we all post up on here into perspective. | | | |
