John Kilbride


I read in Genesis Of The Moors Murders that Hindley & Brady called round the Kilbride family home posing as cops shortly after murdering him. I've never read this before anywhere, only that they hung around nearby.
Anyone know if it's true? It's not depicted in See No Evil.

I find this revolting. As if the murders themselves are not bad enough.

I've never heard of this before, but I doubt it's true since unlike with Pauline Reade, Brady and Hindley didn't know the Kilbrides, so how could they know where he lived?

reply

Media reports maybe?
Obviously at first they didn't know he'd been murdered so perhaps his address and other details would've appeared in the local media.

Doubt it. What good would the parents address do when looking for a missing child? If anyone saw a missing child they'd call the police/missing persons helpline.

I think it's just more media propaganda, like I read a newspaper report that said that Hindley wanted her ashes to be scattered over the moors, implying that she wanted them scattered where the dead children were buried, but she actually wanted them scattered at another moor where "She didn't ever take Brady" or something like that.

Yes this is fact. It's in a few of the books written on the subject and Brady himself confessed it to the author of "Beyond Belief". Why people are surprised they would do this is beyond me. People who kill and sexually abuse children are capable of anything.

That's that settled then, but I hope that you're not directing that at me.

Calm down dear. Just an observation not a personal attack :-/

I never said it was.

In Peter Topping's book it quotes Hindley (In her 1987 confession to him) as saying the story is a myth and that Brady was 'too careful' to do such a thing.
