Moors Murderer Still Wanted To Die

Ian Brady has issued a statement saying that he still wants to die despite losing his appeal for a transfer to a psychiatric hospital to prison.

A tribunal in June ruled against the Moors Murderer's appeal to move from Merseyside's Ashworth Hospital to a facility in Scotland.

The 76-year-old said in a statement, released through his solicitor, that "recent events" had not changed his mind.

Brady, who tortured and murdered five children along with Myra Hindley, also denied reports that he had dementia.
