It's monsters like him and her that make me hope hell exists. They caused a lifetime of misery and suffering to the victims families and continue to do so.

Hindley and Brady were taken back to Saddleworth Moor in the 1980s to help find the bodies of Reade and Bennett. Reade's was uncovered but Bennett's grave has never been found.
For years Brady ignored calls by the boy's family to reveal the location of his remains.
British newspapers greeted news of his death with grim satisfaction. "Monster Brady is dead," said the front page of The Sun. "Burn in hell Brady," said the Daily Mirror.

Sky news is tweeting that Ian Brady's last wish was to have his ashes scattered on Saddleworth Moor.
The coroner is refusing permission for this to happen and will not be releasing Brady's body until he gets assurances that this will not happen.

This is where his ashes should be scattered, imo.

It's actually possible that Brady wouldn't have been able to direct searchers to Keith's grave because of the fact that the moorlands are peat, and when peat gets waterlogged it can flow over time and the grave might well therefore have been moved some distance from where it was originally dug.
Hindley did go out with police and searchers to try to pinpoint the grave but was unable to do so, partly because the moors are pretty featureless, partly because it had been decades since she and Brady had been there and partly because the landscape itself had likely changed. Hindley was very keen to co-operate in the search because she believed that if she could direct the police to Keith's body it would help her campaign to be released from prison.
It's difficult to remember now how vociferously the late Lord Longford campaigned for decades for Hindley's parole, believing her to have been rehabilitated. He died in 2001, a year before Hindley herself, which probably ended any hopes she had of being paroled.
Emlyn Williams's 'Beyond Belief' was one of the first few true crime books I ever read. Yikes.
