Your support makes all the difference.The Moors murderer Ian Brady has accused Myra Hindley of killing one of the couple's victims, Lesley Ann Downey, with her own hands.
Following calls last week by Hindley for Brady to take a truth drug and "tell the truth for the first time in your life", he has released details of a letter written to the Home Secretary.
Brady claims in the letter that all the evidence he presented at their trial was designed to save Hindley from imprisonment. The only murder that she could not deny was that of Lesley Ann Downey.
