You have to have grown up in the 60s to appreciate the full hatred that people feel for Brady and Hindley.
There are certain parts of that decade that still stay with me , the Winter of 63, Aberfan disaster, World cup final, Donald Campbell crashing, moon landings but the most enduring of them was Hindley and Brady.
This is almost like the end of the 60s now that he has gone, I remember being terrified at the sound of their names when I was about 12, he ranked up there with the likes of Hitler for the way he manipulated his victims families long after their deaths. His name probably does not have the same impact on those less than 40 but most people regarded him/her as the epitomy of evil. I think it was the first big murder case that endured over the years with massive publicity.
he will not be missed by many, if any at all.
His partner in crime Myra Hindley who died years ago was equally as bad, remember Lord Longford pleading long and hard on her behalf for her release. He died before she did and she remained in jail until her death.
It does seem a bit odd that these two received life sentences and are probably the only two who have actually been kept in jail for the rest of their lives, real justice, that now seems to be a thing of the past!
