I mostly disagree with the snuff penalty but here is an individual that merited it a million times over for what they did to those kids. The cost alone to taxpayers keeping him alive has been preposterous all these years, some of the time while he enjoyed himself further tormenting the parents of children who's remains were never found.

Was exactly my thought when I saw this at the Guardian earlier.

Ian Brady, detained at Ashworth Hospital after being diagnosed insane in 1985, was tormented by his guards.

Kept alive through force feeding. Being hospitalised allowed the Ashworth psychiatric staff to sustain life.

Brady was determined to end his life. I am thankful this monster that tortured and murdered children, in many cases recording his depraved and despicable acts with willing accomplice Myra Hindley, for half a century was forcefully denied his death wish.

The media claimed that rock'n'roll, although I dated a girl years back whose Mum was a nurse at Broadmoor that reckoned he lived the life of Riley, floating freely about the facilities making himself toast through one of his "hunger strikes" .

Two 9mm bullets in the late sixties would have saved the taxpayer gazillions. I don't care about making him suffer, doesn't that drag us to his level?

Hi Madverts, yes I do feel utter disgust and contempt for Hindley and Brady, and admittedly I would have wish both ill will.

The manner in which Myra Hindley manipulated Lord Longford proved what a wicked sinister scheming murderer Hindley was. Brady had nothing but merciless contempt for the families of his victims, who suffered a life of unrelenting desolation and despair.

Dangerous liaison

That should be the last spike in sales for the redtops regarding this nobody.

He's dead and that's the only good news. Fifty years too late
