Early life

Hindley was born in Crumpsall, Manchester, and raised by her grandmother Ellen Maybury. She was believed to have been beaten by her alcoholic father, Bob Hindley, a paratrooper in the RAF during World War II, who was also alleged to have been violent towards her mother Nellie. [citation needed] Bob and Nellie Hindley divorced in 1965, around the time of Myra's arrest, and her mother subsequently married a man named Bill Moulton.

Hindley had an IQ of 107, not much above average, and failed her eleven-plus exam. She therefore attended the Ryder Brow Secondary Modern school, where she was in the top streams despite poor attendance. She could write creatively, was quite athletic, and was considered a responsible girl, ironically in demand as a babysitter.

At 15, Hindley experienced a significant tragedy. Her close friend Michael Higgins, 13, drowned in a reservoir. Hindley's grief was tinged with guilt owing to the fact that she'd been asked, but had been unable, to go swimming with Higgins that day. A strong swimmer, she believed that she could have saved him had she been with him. Hindley converted to Roman Catholicism, Higgins' religion, and neglected her schoolwork. She was devastated and for months after the drowning was frequently inconsolable, lighting candles daily for her friend's soul. The Roman Catholic Church, most often spoken of simply as the Catholic Church, is the largest Christian church, with over one billion members. ...


Hindley left school in 1957. Her first job was as a junior clerk at Lawrence Scott and Electrometers, an electrical engineering firm. In 1959, she became engaged to a local boy named Ronnie Sinclair, but she called the engagement off. On 16 January 1961, she started work as a typist for a chemical firm called Millward's.

It was at Millward's that she met Ian Brady, a Scottish-born man four years her senior with a history of violence and a string of burglary convictions. Brady was the stock clerk, having been with the company since February of 1959. Hindley was immediately attracted to him, but Brady was cool and aloof and steadfastly ignored her for nearly 12 months.

At the Christmas office party, on 22 December 1961, Brady, his tongue loosened by a few drinks, asked Hindley out; she accepted immediately. That first night he took her to see Judgement at Nuremberg. As the weeks passed, he played her records of National Socialist marching songs and encouraged her to read some of his favourite books – Mein Kampf, Crime and Punishment, and the works of the Marquis de Sade. Brady apparently encouraged Hindley to help him with bank robberies (although no known bank robberies committed by the two are recorded), asking her to join a shooting club and purchase firearms for him, since he could not obtain a gun license owing to his criminal record. Hindley was also told to learn to drive as Brady needed a get-away driver. She began driving lessons, joined the Cheadle Rifle club, and purchased two guns.

Brady convinced Hindley that there was no God, and she stopped going to church. She absorbed his philosophies, adopted his interests, and altered her appearance to suit him, bleaching her hair and wearing Germanic clothes.

Moors Murders

Main article: Moors murders

By mid-1963, Brady had lost interest in bank robberies and was now intent on becoming a murderer for his own sexual gratification. Together, Brady and Hindley took part in the abduction, sexual abuse, torture, and murder of three children and two teenagers between November 1963 and October 1965.

Arrest

Brady was arrested after the discovery of the body of their final victim, 17-year-old Edward Evans, at the house he shared with Hindley. The murder had been witnessed by Hindley's brother-in-law, who had notified the police, and Brady admitted in a police statement that he had murdered Evans. Hindley was arrested five days later when a suitcase containing incriminating evidence was recovered from the left-luggage depot at Manchester Central Station. During her five final days of freedom, she developed an arrogant attitude which was subsequently regarded as her trademark. In a 2006 television documentary about Hindley's years behind bars, Police secretary Sandra Wilkinson said that she distinctly remembered Hindley and her mother Nellie, leaning against the wall of the courthouse and eating a cream cake. While her mother appeared to be in obvious distress, Hindley seemed to be almost indifferent to her situation.


Without the suitcase evidence, the "Moors" trial might never have taken place. It was recovered only because of the keen observation of a police officer who, while searching the house, had spotted the claim ticket hidden in the back of a book binding. In the locker were two suitcases containing pornographic and sadistic materials. These included nine photographs of 10-year-old Lesley Ann Downey, showing her naked, bound and gagged in Myra Hindley's bedroom. A tape recording was also found. On it, the voice of a young girl could be heard screaming, crying, and begging for her life. Two other voices, one male and one female, could be heard threatening the child. Police identified the adult voices as Brady's and Hindley's, but they needed the assistance of Lesley Ann's mother, Ann Downey, to identify the child. She was forced to listen in horror to her terrified daughter's last moments.


When asked later why he had kept such an incriminating tape, Brady responded only that he had done so because "It was unusual."


By the end of the month, the bodies of Lesley Ann Downey and John Kilbride had been discovered, and Brady and Hindley were charged on three counts of murder. The police had overwhelming evidence for the Lesley Ann Downey murder charge, as the suitcase had contained the pornographic photographs and the tape recording. The Chester Assizes judge, Mr. Justice Fenton Atkinson, ordered all women to leave the court while the tape was played in evidence. John Kilbride's name had been written in one of Brady's notebooks (on a page entitled murder plan), and a photograph of Hindley with her dog was later identified as having been taken at John Kilbride's grave.

Trial

On 21 April 1966, the trial began at Chester Assizes. Prosecuting counsel was Sir Elwyn Jones. It ended on 6 May. Brady was convicted on all three murder charges and sentenced to three concurrent terms of life imprisonment.

Hindley was convicted of murdering Edward Evans and Lesley Ann Downey and received two life sentences. She also received a concurrent seven-year sentence for being an accessory in the John Kilbride murder. Mr Justice Atkinson recommended that Hindley should serve a "very long time".


Imprisonment

Hindley was sent to Holloway prison. Although she and Brady wrote to each other during their first few years in prison, and at one stage were refused a request to marry each other, in May 1972 Hindley broke off all contact with Brady.

In November 1986 – more than 20 years after the crimes – Brady and Hindley confessed to the murders of Pauline Reade and Keith Bennett, who had both gone missing during the first half of the 1960s. It is thought that the initiative came from Brady, who also confessed to the murders. Shortly afterwards, they returned to the moors, under heavy guard, to help police locate the graves.

By this time, Hindley claimed to have reformed and maintained that she had acted under the influence of the sadistic Brady. A small group of supporters, led by Lord Longford, who had championed Hindley's cause almost since her conviction, began campaigning for her release. However, the majority of the British public doubted that Hindley's remorse was genuine. There were also death threats made to Hindley from both members of the public and relatives of her victms, who vowed to kill her if she was ever released. In July 1990, Home Secretary David Waddington decided that both Brady and Hindley should never be freed.

In 1994, a Law Lords' ruling stated that life sentence prisoners should be informed of the minimum period they must spend in prison before being considered for parole. This announcement was welcomed by victims' families and backed by the majority of the public, but Hindley challenged the ruling. In December, 1997, November, 1998, and March, 2000, she made appeals to the House of Lords to be released, claiming that she was no longer a danger to the public and that she had been acting under Brady's influence.

Reports by prison officials and the parole board commented on Hindley's progress during incarceration, suggesting that she was repentant and no longer a danger. Her hopes of release were given a boost in May of 2002, when the House of Lords ruled that the Home Secretary could no longer overrule the parole board's recommendations concerning release dates. It seemed likely that the Home Secretary would also lose his power to set minimum sentences and that an estimated 270 prisoners, including Hindley, whose minimum terms had been increased by politicians, would be released earlier than expected. Hindley was also one of about 70 life sentence prisoners who had served longer than their original minimum sentence.

Death

On 15 November 2002, at the age of 60 and after several previous health problems, Hindley died in West Suffolk Hospital after a heart attack. She had spent 37 years in custody. During that time, she had earned an Open University degree and claimed to have returned to Roman Catholicism, to which she had ostensibly converted at the age of 15.

Her lawyers told the press that Hindley had been truly sorry for her crimes. She had always portrayed herself as a remorseful sinner but understood that few people were willing to forgive her. Those who had campaigned for her release said that she should not have ended her life behind bars. Heading this group was a former prison governor, Peter Timms, who admitted that there was no question that Hindley's crimes had been terrible but felt the real issue was that she had been treated differently from any other life-sentence prisoner.


None of Hindley's relatives – not even her elderly mother – were among the dozen or so mourners at her funeral at Cambridge City Crematorium on 20 November. Apart from one woman from nearby Soham – a community that had only recently endured a double child murder – who left a sign reading "Burn in Hell" at the crematorium entrance, [citation needed] the public stayed away from the funeral, which had tight police security. Hindley was cremated, and her ashes scattered at an undisclosed location. At an inquest into her death, it was revealed that she had asked doctors not to resuscitate her if she stopped breathing.

Three days after Hindley's death, Greater Manchester Police revealed that they had been considering bringing charges against her for the murders of Pauline Reade and Keith Bennett, to which Hindley had confessed but for which she had not been charged. The police believed that a successful prosecution for these murders would have kept her in prison no matter how long she had lived[1]. In May of 2003, the Crown Prosecution Service said that there was no realistic prospect of Ian Brady being charged with the two murders, since it was extremely unlikely that he would ever be released.

On Christmas, 2006, Channel 5 aired a show detailing Hindley's years in prison entitled "Myra Hindley -- The Prison Years". It was the first time ever that a few of Hindley's former prison mates had spoken openly about her. The programme ostensibly revealed that Hindley had, according to an inmate, "used and abused religion as a trick to earn more points on her parole hearing".[2]

It attracted widespread protest, including from Winnie Johnson, the mother of one of Hindley's victims. It was vandalised with eggs and ink and eventually had to be protected behind Perspex.
  • Manchester-bred pop group the Smiths wrote a song about the Moors murders titled "Suffer Little Children". Lead singer Morrissey was only a few years younger than the murdered children at the time and the murders had a profound effect on him.

The image was featured as a poster in the punk movie, The Great Rock 'n' Roll Swindle (1980).

Myra Hindley - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (2002 words)
Myra Hindley (23 July 1942–15 November 2002), known as the Moors Murderess, was born in Crumpsall, Manchester.
In December 1997, November 1998 and March 2000, Hindley made appeals to the House of Lords to be released from prison, claiming she was no longer a danger to the public and had been acting under Brady's influence.
Hindley's hopes of release were given a major boost in May 2002 when the House of Lords ruled that the Home Secretary could no longer overrule the parole board's recommendations that a prisoner should be released.
