Denied closure

It IS tragic that Winnie Johnson should have died without learning the whereabouts of the grave of her son, Keith Bennett, so brutally killed by Moors murderer, Ian Brady. She was denied the right to give her son a Christian burial by Brady.

Over the years, Brady treated Winnie Johnson with contempt and only increased her anguish. He has shown little remorse and one must wonder whether it would not have been better to have subjected Brady to capital punishment instead of spending thousands of pounds keeping this worthless creature in prison.
