Police boss defends search for Moors Murders victim Keith Bennett
Keith Bennett, who was killed in 1964, is the only victim whose remains were not found
A police chief has defended a week-long search for the last victim of the Moors murderers after no evidence of human remains was found. Keith Bennett, 12, was one of five children tortured and killed by Ian Brady and Myra Hindley in the 1960s, but his body has never been recovered.Chief Constable Stephen Watson said the tip "on the face of it was credible".The new search was a result of evidence gathered across seven years by author and investigator Russell Edwards, who said he was "convinced" he had found the boy's remains.
"For us, we were hoping against hope that we could recover that little chap's remains and lay him to rest with dignity."
