Picture: PA/Getty/Greater Manchester PoliceThe brother of Moors Murders victim Keith Bennet has said he hopes to learn "within hours" if the boy's remains have finally been discovered, 58 years after the schoolboy was snatched and murdered by Ian Brady and Myra Hindley.
12-year-old Keith was one of five victims of Ian Brady and Myra Hindley, with three of them later found buried on Saddleworth Moor. In a statement, Greater Manchester Police's force review officer Martin Bottomley said: "At around 11.25am on Thursday, Greater Manchester Police was contacted by the representative of an author who has been researching the murder of Keith Bennett, a victim of Ian Brady and Myra Hindley.
"It is far too early to be certain whether human remains have been discovered and this is expected to take some time.
