"Remains of the Moors Murderers' first victim were kept by police for 30 years without her family's knowledge.
Ian Brady and Myra Hindley admitted killing 16-year-old Pauline Reade in 1963, while in prison in the 1980s.
Greater Manchester Police (GMP) said it "recently became aware" some of her remains were kept "for investigative purposes" and has since returned them."
Comments
What an absolute tragedy and horror that family endured in the 60's and onward until the confession in the 1980's. It must have been very hard to receive remains so many years later. I cannot image the wounds it must have reopened. This story sticks with me as one of the most cruel and senseless stories of child abuse still to this day..
