London - The mother of moors murder victim Keith Bennett said yesterday she had been tormented by her son's killers, who pledged to help find his body. Mrs Winnie Johnson (65) has released four letters sent to her late husband, James, by murderer Ian Brady, which offered help in finding Keith's body.

She has also released two previously unpublished letters by Myra Hindley which offered to "do anything remotely possible to help retrieve your son's body". Despite searches of Saddleworth Moor, near Oldham, Greater Manchester, where the killers buried their victims, Keith's body has never been found.
