He was utterly cold and callous and never showed any remorse whatsoever. Surely they should bring back the death penalty for cases like his. His guilt was never doubted, so why all that money to keep him alive?
Ah well, he's with Satan now, thank goodness.

Brady had more than 50 years to reveal the whereabouts of Keith Bennett's body. The cost of keeping him in a secure hospital is £165,000 per year. What a waste of millions of pounds.

Their life sentences was retribution , so you mean continued retribution ?

He has been force fed since 1999. He should have been allowed to die.

He and Myra Hyndley along with many others are the reason I have to believe in an afterlife. The thought that he has just ceased living with no retribution does not sit well with me.

At last we don't have to pay to keep him in prison. My heart goes out to the families of his victims, particularly the child whose grave was never found.
