Convicting the Moors Murderers

A true crime account of the arrest, murder trial, conviction and incarceration of Manchester, England's notorious child murderers. Convicting the Moors Murderers reveals the sordid details of the 1966 legal trial, conviction and imprisonment of Ian Brady and Myra Hindley, England's serial child killers. Picking up where The Moors Murderers leaves off, we learn how Brady and Hindley tried to implicate seventeen-year-old eyewitness David Smith for the murder of Edward Evans, causing Smith to suffer almost daily assaults by both locals and members of the victims' families. We also learn the full story of the depths Myra Hindley went to in order to affect her escape from prison in 1973, how she eventually turned on Ian Brady and how she manipulated her way through her prison sentence until the day she died. We also discover how Ian Brady tormented the families of the victims from his prison cell. We return to the Moors for the full story of how the body of Pauline Reade was recovered from Saddleworth Moor and learn details of the search for Keith Bennett, who to this day remains unfound. Also included are photos from the National Archives, made available to the public for the first time, revealing Myra Hindley during her incarceration. A must read for fans of legal dramas and true crime.
