MOORS murderer Ian Brady is the last hope in finding the grave of his victim Keith Bennett as police admitted defeat in the search.

And, as previously unseen photos taken by Brady of Myra Hindley close to the burial sites of the couple's other four victim's were released, the boy's mother begged the killer for help to find her son before she died.

Keith, aged 12, vanished on June 16 1964, after waving goodbye to his mother, Winnie Johnson, as he walked to his gran's house in Manchester. He never arrived.

He was abducted by Brady and Hindley, taken to Saddleworth Moor above Manchester, sexually assaulted, killed and buried.

Brady, 71, has refused to help find Keith's body - dismissing detectives from his bed when they visited him at Ashworth High Security Hospital in Merseyside.

Using high-tech equipment detectives scoured around a 72,000 sq metre area of the moors but could not find the body.

Mrs Johnson broke down in tears as she appealed to her son's killer to end her 45 years of torment.

The frail pensioner, 75, said: "I'm pleading with him to get to me or the press or the police and tell me where Keith is, it is the last time it will be done.

"I appreciate what the police have done, they have done a lot of work in the last three to four years - it is up to Brady now to do what he can for me to get Keith back."
