Ian Brady Could Appear In Public For First Time In Decades
A hearing to decide if Ian Brady can be moved to a prison in Scotland, could see the Moors murderer appear in public for the first time in decades.
75-year-old Brady wants to be moved from Ashworth Hospital in Merseyside to Scotland, where it is understood he hopes to end his life.
Brady has been refusing food for many years, but as he was sectioned under the Mental Health Act he is not allowed to end his life and has been tube-fed throughout his hunger strike.
He is now seeking a ruling from the mental health tribunal to secure a transfer to Scotland, which does have a precedent for feeding prisoners on hunger-strike.
The tribunal, expected to last up to eight days, will be held in Ashworth and relayed to Manchester Civil Justice Centre.
Brady and Myra Hindley murdered five children and buried them on moors in Greater Manchester in the 1960s.
