Keith Bennett's brother speaks as moorland dig by police continues
The brother of Moors murderers' victim Keith Bennett has spoken out after it was revealed a dig was taking place on Saddleworth Moor following the discovery of a possible human skull.
He made the comment as the first picture of a police tent on the Moors emerged, which shows a single forensic tent in the wilderness. Alan posted on Facebook: "Nothing has been found on the moor as yet, despite all the headlines." Alan spoke out following Greater Manchester Police's announcement on Friday, September 30, that officers are searching for the remains of Keith, who was murdered by Ian Brady and Myra Hindley. He is the only one of the couple's five victims whose body has not been discovered.
The remains were found through an independent search by an author who is writing a book on the tragic murder, before being reported to the police. GMP officer Martin Bottomley said: "At around 11.25am on Thursday 29 September 2022, Greater Manchester Police was contacted by the representative of an author who has been researching the murder of Keith Bennett, a victim of Ian Brady and Myra Hindley.
