''At her trial, Hindley was told that she should spend at least 25 years behind bars. The Lord Chief Justice agreed with that recommendation in 1982, meaning that Hindley could be considered for parole beginning in October 1990. However, after she and Brady admitted in 1986 to additional murders (Pauline Reade and Keith Bennett), Home Secretary Leon Brittan increased her tariff to 30 years, ruling out parole until at least October 1995''

this means for the murders of Pauline and Keith she was only sentenced to 5 years!!!!!!!!!!!!

I dont understand how this is possible??!!

I think it would be 5 years because the sentences ran concurrently. Remember when they found the first body, and the gap-toothed police chief (?) said the other victims were not irrelevant?
