MOORS murderer Ian Brady is set to be seen in public for the first time in 45 years.

The killer of five youngsters with lover Myra Hindley in the 1960s has won a fight to appear before a mental health tribunal.

Glasgow-born Brady, 73, is in a secure hospital but wants to be transferred to a Scottish prison and be allowed to die.

Winnie Bennett, 78, whose son Keith, 12, was one of his victims, wants to attend the hearing – only the second one ever to be held in public.

She said: “I still want to kill him but I know I’d have to respect the proceedings. If I got the chance, I would ask Brady why he killed my Keith and where he buried him. I wouldn’t lose my rag and would only get aggressive if he was rude or dismissive.”

Brady was jailed for life in 1966 for the murders of John Kilbride, 12, Lesley Ann Downey, 10, and 17-year-old Edward Evans. In 1987, he and Hindley admitted killing Pauline Reade, 16, and Keith Bennett. Brady, whose victims were sexually tortured then buried on Saddleworth Moor north of Manchester, has been held at high-security Ashworth hospital, Merseyside, since 1985.

Hindley died in jail in November 2002, aged 60. Brady applied for a public hearing into where he is detained last year.

Judge Robert Atherton granted it in October, but only now can it be reported. The ruling added: “The date and arrangements are being determined and will be published as soon as possible.”
