The body of Moors Murderer Ian Brady has been cremated, and his ashes scattered in an undisclosed location at sea.

Brady’s body had remained in legal limbo since his death on May 15 this year, aged 79.

A final ruling specified that the body should be cremated in anonimity, and the ashes thrown into sea at a secret location.

No music or flowers were allowed during the cremation procedure.

Ian Brady, together with his lover Myra Hindley, tortured and killed five children in the 1960s

The victims were: Keith Bennett, Lesley Ann Downey, Edward Evans, John Kilbride, and Pauline Reade. All the bodies, except for Bennett’s, were found buried in shallow graves in the Saddleworth Moors near Manchester.
