Winnie Johnson RIP - mother of Keith Bennett

[Maurice]

Winnie Johnson has died after a long campaign to get her son's killer, Ian Brady, to reveal where his body is buried. She was 78.

Twelve-year-old Keith was abducted on his way to visit his grandmother in Manchester on 16th June, 1964.

Utterly heartbreaking.
The poor woman. The photograph of the bespectled and smiling young Keith is one of the most heartrending images from the savagery of the Myra Hindley /Ian Brady murder spree.
At least she is now at peace.
I have no words you could print to describe Ian Brady.

On the radio here this very morning I heard Mrs Johnson talking about Keith & something about the bastard Brady revealing where Keith's body was in

Brady's last will & testament. All too late!!. God bless you Winnie!

RIP Winnie

That poor woman, I am not a religeous person but it would be nice to think that she has been reunited with her son at last.

RIP Winnie

RIP

The whole business still sickens me

[Mr Sloane]

Thank goodness she was not aware of the sordid business over the letter.

Winnie Johnson was the biggest victim of the moors murderers,Ian Brady no longer has a bargaining tool to allow him to die anywhere other than in 'prison'-personally,I hope that he lasts another twenty years in his present situation.

R.I.P. Winnie.......

Hope you have more peace in Heaven than you did on Earth.
