MP slams the Cremation of Ian Brady in Southport

4th November 2017

Southport MP Damien Moore has branded the decision to cremate Ian Brady’s body in
Southport as “completely inappropriate and disrespectful to the residents of Southport”.

His comments follow as it emerged the body of the Moors murderer Ian Brady has been secretly cremated and his ashes disposed of at sea in the middle of the night.

Brady and his girlfriend Myra Hindley tortured and murdered five children between
1963 and 1965. He died without revealing the whereabouts of the body of Keith Bennett, a 12-year-old boy from Longsight in Manchester.

Damien Moore commented: “I find the decision to secretly cremate Ian Brady’s body in Southport completely inappropriate and disrespectful. I am beyond astounded by this distasteful decision.”

“I have written to the Justice Secretary to outline my thoughts on this decision and
request a thorough explanation as to why this has been allowed to happen without any forewarning or consideration for families who unknowingly used the crematorium on the same day.”
