Moors Murders: Keith Bennett's Family Vow To Continue The Search For His Body

Winnie Johnson never found out where Keith was buried The family of the mother of Moors Murders victim Keith Bennett has vowed to continue the fight to find his body and give her son a Christian burial.

Winnie Johnson, 78, died in the early hours of today at a hospice following a battle against cancer for a number of years.

Ian Brady, the killer of her 12-year-old son, has always refused to say where he buried him on Saddleworth Moor above Manchester despite decades of pleading from his victim's grieving mother.

She also passed away not knowing about reports yesterday that Brady may have detailed the location of the body in a supposed letter addressed to her to be opened on his death.

Brady, 74, and his partner, Myra Hindley, who died in jail in 2002 aged 60, were responsible for the murders of five youngsters in the 1960s.

Most of their victims were sexually tortured before being buried on Saddleworth Moor, with Keith's body the only one yet to be found.

In a statement, Winnie's family said today: "She was a much loved mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, and is survived by one younger brother.

"Winnie fought tirelessly for decades to find Keith and give him a Christian burial. Although this was not possible during her lifetime, we, her family, intend to continue this fight now for her and for Keith. We hope that the authorities and the public will support us in this."

Her lawyer John Ainley said Brady still held the key to finding the burial spot.

God bless you Winnie, hopefully you are now reunited with Keith... RIP.

Yes, God please be merciful to this poor family and let the poor boy be found and given a decent burial.

RIP Winnie

Hi Anna, just realised there is another Winnie thread on Main Maddie News.... Please merge, thanks. ms.

I've been hearing today that Winnie was too ill to know of this latest scam, thankfully and sadly, whichever way you look at it.

It's very sad news, but l think of Winnie as being reunited with her beloved son and Brady cannot change that, he has now lost the last remaining power he had.

Keith's body will be found one day l am sure of that, his family will not rest for him.

So So sad! I was hoping all this would be resolved before poor Winnie passed. I only hope that she has been reunited with Keith and will finally have peace that she so deserves. My prayers are with the family and i hope they get their blessing and find Keith. x
