About this listen

The Moors Murders were a series of horrific crimes committed by Ian Brady and Myra Hindley in the 1960s in and around Manchester, England. The pair abducted, sexually assaulted, and murdered five children and teenagers between 1963 and 1965. Their victims were buried on the Moors outside Manchester, hence the name "Moors Murders." The case shocked the nation and led to widespread fear and revulsion. Brady and Hindley were eventually caught and convicted in 1966, receiving life sentences. The Moors Murders remain one of the most infamous and disturbing criminal cases in British history, prompting changes in laws and procedures related to missing persons and child protection.
