   In October 2002, Brady was taken under guard to Manchester Royal Infirmary to visit his dying mother. The Home Office issued a statement: ‘Leave was agreed for completely compassionate reasons in accordance with the wishes of Mrs Brady. Ian Brady’s mother is dying and a last meeting was at her request. She is not a criminal and does have human rights, which is why the Home Secretary agreed. It’s a one-off deathbed wish and it’s difficult, but we should not deny the innocent mother’s dying wish.’ Brady spent an hour with his mother before she died.

   Brady was a keen cinemagoer; in April 1960,
Hell Is a City
premiered at the Apollo in Ardwick Green. The film, starring Stanley Baker as a detective on the trail of a gang of Manchester thieves, features the dumping of a girl’s body on the moors and was shot on location at Wessenden Head – two years before Brady and Hindley began visiting the area.
