News about Myra Hindley

Terry West, 73, who was married with two adult children, is thought to have died earlier this week. Lesley Ann was just ten years old when he was approached by Ian Brady and Myra Hindley at a funfair on Boxing Day 1964. The pair then took her before subjecting her to sickening abuse and torture, which they caught on tape. They buried her body in a shallow grave on Saddleworth Moor, then murdering her and burying her body in a shallow grave. Terry West, Lesley Ann's older brother, was haunted by the agony his sister suffered in her final hours, and he talked about how he blamed himself.

I knew who was under the black balaclava because he took it off, showed me his face, and groped when he pulled the trigger on my lover. BANG! Got the rifle, grabbing my boyfriend Ron's arm. His sleeve was soaked in blood. 'This one's for Mickey Calvey!' Danny yelled before unleashing the bullet that killed Ron Ron.

Experts told the Mail that the trust between Scarlett Jenkinson (left) and Eddie Ratcliffe (right) had a strong influence in sharing their darkest fantasies on social media. David Wilson, a Birmingham City University professor of criminal justice and a former prison governor who worked in special units for some of Britain's most notorious serial murderers, believes that plotting the murder carried out their scheme to murder Brianna Ghey (inset), who was killed within weeks of the pair identifying her as a victim. 'Brianna's murder went from an imagined dream to a reality in a matter of a breath,' says Professor Wilson.' Jenkinson's friendship with Ratcliffe was a classic folie à deux, which essentially means a shared madness or delusion that is not uncommon in couples who die, according to him. Jenkinson and Ratcliffe were not boyfriend and girlfriend, and unlike some notorious British murder couples, like Moors Murderers Ian Brady and Myra Hindley (bottom) and Rose and Fred West, the female - Jenkinson, was the more 'dominant' one in the union.

Ian Brady and Myra Hindley, the Moors Murderers, were never expected to be caught. They were omnipotent after cold-heartedly killing four young people in Manchester and burying them each in peat graves on Saddleworth Moor. When I spoke to Brady in prison 30 years ago, I asked if they had been concerned about the possibility of living into middle age or even beyond. They told me that they were discussing a long-term initiative to convert a farmhouse.

Ian Brady and Myra Hindley, the infamous Moors Murderers, experimented with pornography, portraying themselves as the anonymous stars of a series of dirty photos before embarking on their murder spree. Brady brought his photographic equipment along to Myra's house and waited for her grandmother to go to bed early in their marriage. Then and Myra were stripped naked, wearing only white hoods with eye slits to mask their identities.

Myra Hindley (left, in her prison cell) looks back on me. She hasn't stopped singing. I keep looking, unable to believe my eyes. I'm feeling a rush of pure rage. 'You f***in' bitch!How can you sing when you've murdered innocent children?' My arm lifts forward as I try to stop myself from slapping her face. Right and inset, Linda Calvey, Britain's most notorious female armed robber

Hedges, 27, was sentenced to life for the murder of her 18-month-old son Alfie Phillips, who died of a'myriad of bruises', broken ribs, arms, and leg, as well as signs of cocaine and alcohol in his body. The pair are being detained in Bronzefield Prison in Surrey and have access to an en-suite shower, a laptop, a phone, and a television. Letby also has round-the-clock cover.

In a Channel 4 docuseries, one of Britain's most popular couples will have their brutal crimes against children revisited. The first episode of Moors Murders: The Witness is scheduled to air on Channel 4 at 11.05 p.m. tonight, and it will concentrate on the heinous crimes of Myra Hindley and Ian Brady. Hindley and Brady's atrocities in the 1960s have left their collective memory for their sadistic cruelty and murder of five children before burying their bodies in Saddleworth Moor, North West England. Hindley's brother-in-law David Smith alerted the police after the murder of their fifth and final victim, 17-year-old Edward Evans, in 1965. Brady never showed any remorse for his heinous crimes, while Hindley maintained she had been beaten and drugged by her partner into becoming a cold-blooded killer - here we look at who they were and how they died

A key witness was pulled into making a shocking admission midway through Monique Olivier's three-week trial (right) - one of the most tragic and enthralling France has seen. If Olivier had not confessed to helping her husband (left) rape and murder British student Joanna Parrish (inset), and two other victims, her lawyer pressed the senior police officer, could he have produced any evidence strong enough to convict her? Frederic Berardet, a five-year investigator, reminisced on the facts, eased the epaulets of his flawless blue uniform and began to prevaricate. However, his inquirest ordered a one-word answer. As all eyes in the packed courtroom focused on him, the Dijon missing persons bureau chief screamed in anger.'No,' she answered equitably.'

TER HITCHENS: The UN is generally seen as an enemy in Israel, and evidence shows that the UN sees the same way about Israel as it does the Jewish state. The United Nations General Assembly is particularly known for walloping Jerusalem over hostile resolutions. The Assembly once passed number 3379, the most controversial of which claimed that Zionism, the movement that promotes the establishment of a Jewish state, was itself nationalism. Really?

Stuart Lubbock (pictured right), 31, was discovered dead with serious internal injuries in Strike It Lucky star Barrymore's (pictured right) pool in Roydon, Essex, on March 31, 2001, after a party with just seven people in attendance. Dr. Michael Heath's postmortem revealed how Stuart drowned, but that tests revealed later that he had marks on his face indicating potential asphyxiation. This could have resulted from an arm bandaged him during a potential sexual attack. The bungled postmortem revealed by Stuart's brother Kevin (pictured inset) 55, who said: 'Dr Heath should have been struck off years ago.' Rather, his slap-dash decisions resulted in several incorrect decisions at inquests, including Stuart's.'

Officials have reported that child serial killer nurse Lucy Letby has officially applied to contest her sentencing at the Court of Appeal. The 33-year-old, who was sentenced to a whole life term for killing seven babies and assaulting six others, is set to begin her attempts to reveal herself at a court hearing later this month. One father, whose baby Letby tried to murder, told the Mail: "I'm disgusted and angry that Letby is appealing.' If we haven't been through enough, we can't be in a situation to be able to.' We're trying to recover our lives, and now this is a joke of a system. I'm not sure if she's appealing on the grounds she can appeal - there were no supporting factors in the lawsuit.' Letby's request comes after a scientist argued that the prosecution against her was based on "unreliable expert opinion" and "a poor grasp" of science.

An investigation has revealed Emily Morris and another unidentified mother are urging police to look into Lucy Letby (pictured) further, afraid that she may have killed their children. Both their children died shortly after they arrived with the Countess of Chester Hospital, and the heartbroken families say they'don't believe [they've] had justice." These latest allegations came just days after Letby was sentenced to 14 whole life terms for seven infants and six others.

LIZ HULL: I've been through some challenging situations in my career, including the Hillsborough Inquests, the Manchester Arena Bomb Inquiry, and the murder of 11-year-old Rhys Jones. To do this job, you need a thick skin, and among my closest friends, I'm known for having no concern for fools or armchair trolls. But I did phoned one of my closest friends last week and said I was feeling 'a little woobbly.' Many of us in court knew Letby was a serial murderer by this time, but the media blackout had made the trial of the remaining, imminent verdicts almost unbearable. I've been to almost every day of the trial, seated just a few feet away from the woman accused of some of the worst crimes in modern times.

Lucy Letby's childhood friend has confirmed that she still believes in the killer nurse as footage of them on a 'night of terror' during their teenage years has surfaced. Letby, 33, was Britain's most prolific child killer and was sentenced to an unprecedented 14 whole life terms, which means she will die in prison. Following a 'cruel, calculated, and cynical campaign of child murder, a judge said she had displayed "malevolence bordering on sadness.'

Lucy Letby (left), Britain's most prolific child killer, became one of only four women to receive a whole life term yesterday for seven babies and six others. She will likely be put in the high-security prison HMP Low Newton in Durham after being first detained in the jail's hospital wing, where she will be put on suicide watch and isolated from the other prisoners for her own safety. Joanna Dennehy (bottom right) and Kilburn murderer Emma Aitken (centre), who is reportedly dating fellow prisoner Dennehy in 2020, are the most notorious inmate in Low Newton today. The maximum security jail was home to some of the country's most notorious female prisoners, including Rose West, Tracey Connelly, the mother of Baby P who died after months of neglect in 2007, and Sharon Carr who became known as 'The Devil's Daughter' when she murdered an 18-year-old stranger.

Lucy Letby, the most prolific child serial murderer in modern British history, killed seven babies and attempted to murder six more. In an unprecedented move, the 'cruel and calculation' NHS nurse was given a complete life term for her heinous crimes, implying she will most likely die in prison. Letby (pictured right) became the fourth woman to receive a full life order after Myra Hindley, Rose West, and triple murderer Joanna Dennehy. It is likely that she will be incarcerated in HMP Low Newton (right) in Durham alongside depraved serial killer Dennehy, who murdered three men during a 10-day spree in 2013, but the 33-year-old's time in prison will be short. Given that many prisoners are unable to see their own children, experts predict that Letby's crimes would have a cord with caged mothers and paint a target on her back.

Letby, 33, (right), Britain's most prolific child killer, was sentenced to an unprecedented 14-year term terms on Tuesday, essentially ending in prison. Following a 'cruel, calculated, and cynical campaign of child murder, a judge said she had displayed "malevolence bordering on sadness." However, despite the fact that ten months of damning facts against Letby were broadcast in one of Britain's longest ever trials, her schoolfriend Dawn Howe (left) refuses to admit her guilt. Ms Howe told the Telegraph yesterday if she stayed by her answer during an interview on Friday that she would'never say she is guilty.'

BARBARA DAVIES: Having been a part of her ten-month trial, John and Susan Letby (left) were unable to accept the truth about their only child's wicked crimes. Mr and Mrs Letby, like Lucy (pictured right), who cowered in her cell yesterday and refused to appear in court to be convicted, also decided to stay away. They were not there to hear the heart-rending words of the parents of the precious, longed-for babies killed by their 33-year-old daughter's tragic death.

These are the never-before-seen photographs of killer nurse Lucy Letby smiling and enjoying life as a carefree teenager with childhood pals. Letby is seated on a sofa with a smile and nonchalant expression on her face after a night out to celebrate her 17th birthday. In another, she stares into the camera with a huge, reassured smile as her friends huddled around her outside Hereford Sixth Form College to celebrate the completion of their A levels. A third shows Letby and three other pals on holiday wearing life vests and looking excited as they stand in shallow water awaiting to board an inflatable ring pulled by a speedboat.

Mr Justice Goss told the killer nurse that she had "robbed parents of their beloved children" and "deprived siblings of their brothers and sisters." The most prolific child serial murderer in modern British history refused to appear in court today, where she is likely to be sent a full life term. Her decision not to attend court today was described as 'the last act of wickedness from a coward,', prompting further calls for new legislation that would encourage criminals to appear in court.

During Monday's Loose Women, Ruth Langford was compelled to hold back tears while discussing killer nurse Lucy Letby. The host, 63, was writing about the murderer's refusal to appear in court and listen to the children of the seven babies she killed's impact statements. Ruth had tears in her eyes as she began the discussion with her colleagues, explaining how Lucy did not leave her cell to appear in the courthouse.

More than a dozen family members descended on Manchester Crown Court to see Britain's most prolific child killer face justice this morning, but they were denied admission as she cowered in her prison. Nicholas Johnson KC, the prosecutor, told Manchester Crown Court Letby's pleaded guilty to a full-life tariff. According to him, the murders were admisible on several fronts, including that they were foreseeable and contained elements of'sadistic behaviour' against children. Mr Justice Goss has stated that he has no power to order a defendant to attend a sentencing hearing, but that the Government has promised to give judges the ability to do so.
