Police hunting for the body of 12 year old Keith Bennett killed by Moors murderer Ian Brady are being denied access to 2 cases and the documents inside. Police were denied a search warrant for the cases.

Keith's brother Alan has said there is a 'desperate' need to examine Brady's paperwork because he took the secret of the 12-year-old's final resting place on Saddleworth Moor with him to the grave. On the eve of his death in May 2017 Brady demanded that two locked cases be taken from his room at Ashworth Hospital on Merseyside and put into secure storage. Magistrates stated that because Brady is both dead there is no chance of a prosecution so no need for a warrant.
