The Moors murders were performed by Myra Hindley and Ian Brady, their victims were children between the age of 10 to 17. Myra and Ian killed 5 children between July 1963 and October 1965, their names were Pauline Reade, John Kilbride, Keith Bennett, Lesley Ann Downey and Edward Evans, and all of these children were sexually assaulted. Myra and Ian are known as the Moor murderers because the victims were found in graves dug on Saddleworth Moor.

Three bodies were found, Keith Bennett which was the fourth victim is still not found as the investigators suspect that the body is somewhere in the Saddleworth Moor. Hindley is 'the most evil woman in britian'. She made appeals against her life sentece in prison as she said, that she is changed and will not cause danger to the society but she was not released. Hindley died in prison at the age of 60 due to a heart attack in november 2002, she was the Britian's longest serving female prisoner.

Brady is in Ashworth Hospital, he says that he wants to die but his request was refused lots of time.

This documentary is useful as it shows how Hindley Met Brady, this is worth watching.
