     Margaret Mounsey, author interview, Preston, 14 July 2009. Apart from Keith Bennett and Pauline Reade, Brady asserts that he was questioned about Veronica Bondi (1963), Ben Marsden (1959) and William Cullen, who was killed in 1965. Cullen’s murder was solved in 1984, although Brady falsely claimed responsibility for it. In a post-arrest letter, Brady referred to his ‘dear friend in Bradford’ – probably alluding to Gil Deares, whose disappearance he and Hindley were also questioned about. There is a curious note among Emlyn Williams’s papers from his interviews: ‘Benfield: “These families obviously well-known to Ian Brady?????”’ (Emlyn Williams Collection, Preliminary Notes, Ref: L3/4, National Library of Wales.) The child victims are thought to have been chosen at random, but a peculiarity of the case is that the first known victim, teenager Pauline Reade, was indeed familiar to Hindley, while Brady claimed to have known the last victim, teenager Edward Evans.

     At that time, the full prosecution case had to be presented before magistrates in order to decide whether to send a case to trial. The press were permitted to report proceedings unless instructed otherwise. Philip Curtis, representing Hindley, and David Lloyd-Jones, representing Brady, asked for the evidence to be heard in camera but only the prosecution’s opening submission was kept from the press and public.

   Mr Justice Fenton Atkinson, sentencing. See footnote 25, chapter 8.When Brady and Hindley left the dock, the judge praised the detective work done on the case in general; he singled out Tyrrell alone for special mention. Although Tyrrell had found the left luggage receipt, without doubt the most crucial work was carried out by Jock Carr, Joe Mounsey, Mike Massheder and Dennis Barrow. None of the men were ever given public recognition for their achievements in the case.
