That clown has sprung up again. Snipped:

Ex-detective Mark Williams-Thomas said: "Someone doesn't just walk up on to the moors and hide a gun there.

I'm not a detective nor an ex-detective but I would say people over the years have walked up there and hid all sorts of things. Guns included.

Good old Mark Williams Thomas talking bullsh*t as usual.

Ex-detective Mark Williams-Thomas said: "Someone doesn't just walk up on to the moors and hide a gun there.

"We do know that Brady was linked with armed robbery and that he certainly was planning one".

I don't recall hearing that Brady was known to have connections with armed robbery.

P.S. I have found that he and Hindley discussed carrying out robberies but never actually did.

Speaking of Ian Brady elsewhere:

Moors Murderer Ian Brady has been refused permission to launch a 'totally unique' High Court fight for the right to have the lawyer of his choice representing him at a tribunal.
The serial killer was challenging a bar on solicitor-advocate Robin Makin, who has represented him for more than 25 years, getting legal aid.
Mr Justice Morris considered the application for permission to seek judicial review at a hearing in London last week and ruled today the ban remains.
Mr Makin is currently barred from acting as Brady's publicly funded legal representative because his solicitors' firm, E Rex Makin & Co, is not a member of the Law Society's mental health panel.
Under legal aid rules, only members are entitled to a publicly funded contract in the mental health law category.
Brady's legal team told the court the Lord Chancellor, Liz Truss, has power to intervene and protect his human rights and ensure he is represented by the lawyer of his choice.
His barrister Philip Engelman argued she had unlawfully fettered her discretion by failing to act in what the tribunal itself had described as a 'totally unique' case.
Lawyers for the Lord Chancellor told the judge it would not be a 'lawful and proper use of her power' for her to intervene.
The serial killer, 79, who now uses the name Ian Stewart-Brady, is a patient at Ashworth Hospital on Merseyside.
He last went before the Mental Health Review Tribunal (MHRT) in 2013 and asked for a move to a Scottish prison so he cannot be force-fed - as he can in hospital - and where he could be allowed to die if he wishes.
His request was rejected after Ashworth medical experts said he had chronic mental illness and needed continued care in hospital.
A further review was due in September last year, but Brady refused to take part without Mr Makin.
Brady and Myra Hindley, who died in prison in 2002, tortured and murdered five children in the 1960s. Four of the victims were buried on Saddleworth Moor in the south Pennines.
He was jailed for three murders in 1966 and has been at Ashworth since 1985. He and Hindley later confessed to another two murders.
His legal team say he has been bedridden for the last couple of years or so.
'It is probably fair to say that his physical condition will not improve and he is terminally ill.
'He is in very poor physical health - he suffers from emphysema and has constant oxygen and a nebuliser four times a day.'
The court has heard that Brady was reluctant to engage with the latest review, believing it was biased against him.
But he was persuaded to take part by Mr Makin after 'making it clear that the only legal representative he would have was Robin Makin'.

Ian Brady has died.

Hope he rots in hell.

He certainly won't be missed except perhaps by this weirdo who used to visit him regularly.

He could at least have told where he hid the body of Keith Bennett, despicable excuse for a human being.  Something I would never wish on anyone normally but this is an exception, I hope he rots in hell!!

The wording about someone who has eaten his cellmates is a little exaggerated as you'll see from the actual story.

It sounds as if it's something he does regularly.

There are still some dreadful creatures locked up.

I've belatedly given this its own topic.
