I hope she was in as much pain as is physically possible before she died, and that wherever she is now, I hope she continues to suffer for an eternity.
-
I\'m guessing we are suppose to know who she is. I guess she\'s a big name in England. Saw some stories of her since you wrote this totally nondescript thread.

British child-killer Myra Hindley dead at 60
Hindley and her lover Ian Brady were sentenced to life imprisonment in 1966 for the "Moors Murders", in which they abducted, abused, tortured and killed two children.
Britain\'s Prison Service says Hindley died in hospital aged 60 after a long illness.
She was Britain\'s longest-serving female prisoner.
Convicted murderer Myra Hindley, reviled throughout Britain for sexually abusing and killing children with her lover in the notorious Moors murders in the 1960s, has died aged 60, a British prison service spokesman said.
Hindley was given last rites by a priest earlier on Friday local time at her bedside in West Suffolk hospital in Bury Saint Edmunds in eastern England, where she was admitted on Tuesday local time with severe respiratory problems.
Hindley and her then-companion Ian Brady, 64, were jailed for life in 1966 for the sexual abuse, torture and murder of three youngsters whose bodies were buried on Saddleworth Moor, near Manchester in northern England.
In 1987, when Hindley was getting counseling from a priest, the pair confessed to two other child killings, adding to the hatred felt by many Britons for what she and her lover had done.
"We can confirm Myra Hindley died at the West Suffolk hospital at 4:58 pm [16:58 GMT] today following respiratory failure," a prison service spokesman said in a statement.
"Her next of kin have been informed.
""There will now be a coroner\'s inquest as is routine with any prisoner who dies in custody."
In a public statement in 1994, Hindley expressed remorse and begged mercy from a nation that came to see her as evil personified.
"Without me, these crimes could probably not have been committed," Hindley said.
"I ask people to judge me as I am now and not as I was then."
Hindley was serving her 36th year behind bars at Highpoint medium security prison in Suffolk, where she was transferred at her request in 1998 from maximum security Durham prison.
During her years in prison, Hindley became a Roman Catholic, did an Open University degree in humanities and in 1995 secretly "married" her female lover Nina Wilde, a Dutch-born criminologist.
A chain smoker, she has been in poor health for many years, suffering from angina and osteoporosis.
Earlier this month she was admitted to hospital with a suspected heart attack.
For his part, Brady remains at high-security Ashworth hospital in Merseyside in north-west England, where for three years he has been on a hunger strike, kept alive by forced feeding through a plastic tube.
Hindley, daughter of a Manchester construction laborer who, she later said, had a violent streak, was by all accounts a normal girl, much sought after as a baby-sitter - until she met Brady.
He had developed a fascination with Hitler and the 18th Century French writer Marquis de Sade during brief spells in prison in the early 1960s for minor offences, and met Hindley while the two worked at a small chemicals firm.
Their first victim, 16-year-old Pauline Read vanished in July 1963 on her way to a discotheque and her body was only found in a shallow grave after the 1987 confessions.
Second to die was John Kilbride, on the same November day in 1963 that US president John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas.
Kilbride had been lured onto the moor, sexually assaulted, then murdered.
A picture taken by Brady of Hindley posing on the edge of his grave holding her pet dog would later lead police to the site.
Victim number three, 12-year-old Keith Bennett vanished after he left his home in Chorlton-on Medlock in Manchester in June 1964.
His body has never been found.
Lesley Ann Downey, the fourth to die, was at age 10, the pair\'s youngest victim.
She was enticed from a fairground to a house Hindley shared with her grandmother.
There in Hindley\'s bedroom the girl was stripped, sexually abused, tortured, and forced to pose for pornographic photos.
The horror was recorded on a 16 minute, 21 second audio tape later played in court.
The fifth victim, 17-year-old Edward Evans was lured from a gay bar to a home shared by Brady and Hindley, then killed by the blows of an axe.
His murder was witnessed by Hindley\'s brother-in-law, David Smith, who tipped off police.
A spokeswoman for Greater Manchester Police says they will continue to investigate any relevant information that comes to light in regard to the Moors murders, despite Hindley\'s death.

Yes, that\'s her. A truely evil bitch. Along with Ian Brady, she kidnapped, abused, tortured and then murdered several young children on Saddleworth moors above Manchester.

Over here in America we call those type people "Pop Stars"

^^^^^^
:laughing: :laughing:
Or better- Priests.... :rolleyes:

or Spudz.

How can you stand there and laugh & joke about something like this? What she did wasn\'t some sort of fairy tale, it actually happened, and after nearly 40 years, there is still a lot of anger, rage and hatred in Greater Manchester. For those of you who have kids, just put yourself in such a position. Think about those families who may never find the remains of thier children.
-
Because we have so many whack jobs like that over here it\'s a yearly occurance. This happened years and years ago.

Step1: Untwist panties
Step2: Pull out of ass
Step3: Relax
Like Vid said, this happens every 6 months here. Serial killing and the likes is nothing new and I like many other americans, are pretty much desensitized over this type of thing. Besides 3 isnt much to shock me or many others. How many did John Wayne Gacy kill? Or Jeffery Dahmer? Or hell, even the latest killings with the sniper.
Does it make the killings any worse or better..no
Does it matter if we can laugh it off....no
Are you guys the first with something like this..no
-
Heck, we just killed Eileen Warnose (Totally wrong spelling) just last month. She killed quite a few people and I remember when I was a kid she terrorized the state of Florida with killing people at Rest Stops.
-
That sort of thing doesn\'t happen in the UK like it does here. That\'s why it\'s a big deal to them. They don\'t want to be cynical about life and death like Americans. They appreciate their relative peace compared to ours.
Yet, what this Myra Hindley did was not trivial, as some of us are trying convey (unfortunately). She was wicked as any modern day serial killers here in the US.
-
Hey captian obvious, we figured that out by this.

Cerebus, you forget in America this stuff is common. We execute serial killers and don\'t even realize it. This would of been minor news to us American\'s, if news at all.

Danny Rollings was another who was a real winner. The Gainsville Killer, he killed a shit load of hot college chicks, cut \'em up, raped \'em all the usuall stuff. But the thing that always sticks in my mind is the chick that he raped, killed, disembowled, decapitated and put the head on the book shelf facing the door so that who ever came through the door met the head eye to eye.
and Gman Joe, saying that that Myra chick is as evil as the American serial killers...well that\'s wrong, because our psycho\'s could kick their psycho\'s asses! :)
-
Seriously..3 is a slow week for ours..lol
-
Omen, I was going to UF at the time and living in Gainesville. I lived in the apartment complex right next to 3 of the murders. It was probably one of the freakiest times of my life. I never open my front door for anyone now. Changed my life I\'ll tell you that.
-
A friend told me how this guy killed like 20 little boys, using their bones to make a bed, putting their penises in jars, and wrapped thier bodies with scotch tape and put them in his bed while sleeping like a stuffed animal. :sconf:
-
which "guy" might this be?
-
:laughing: @ luckee
*looking @ ViVi*
-
People have be arguing for years over when or if she should be released. Looks like the arguement is over now, still Ian Brady lives though.
-
Things like this happen every day in the US. A lot of people are murdered a day in the US. Its too common here.

And yet you try to be sarcastic about his feelings about the tragedy by saying this :

Ass-holish of you to say, I might add. Do yourself a favor....go outside and add more stickers to your Neon and play some Eminem....yo.

It might be an every day occurance in the US, but here in England, it\'s not. And as uncommon as it is now, it was even less so all that time ago. That is why people in the UK were, and still are shocked and outraged. I\'m not going to apologise for living in a country where chuld murderers are less in numbers, even ONE child murderer is one too many. In the 60\'s this sort of thing was virtually unheard of, and that is why it rocked US more than it might rock YOU.
-
Heh, serial killers are so common here, they might as well put it on the census as one of the occupations. If they can put Jedi as a religion, then we deserve to have serial killer as an occupation. ;)
-
Jedi is put as a religion on the census?
-
Once a certain percentage of people fill in a certain religion in the "other" category of the census, the government has to acknowledge it and put it as an option on the census. Last census in England, they put enough on there to get it onto the census and the same for Australia. I think the same was done here, but I\'m not entirely sure.
-
I find it funny that there are people that fill in Jedi :)

One: I wasn\'t trying to be sarcastic, I was stating an opinion.
Two: You will be hard pressed to find any stickers on any of my cars except for the windshield banners on them for advertisment purposes. It\'s nice to know how to be found when I go blast down the track to a 13.279(neon) or a 12.63(eclipse). Know how much business the other employee\'s or myself bring in when after a race?
As for eminem..whatever floats your boat big guy....
-
1. Your opinion? By telling him not to get his panties in a bunch coz of the killings this woman did?
2. Those are good times. Honestly, I\'m impressed. The Neon comment was out of line....but you irritated me with the "Mr Obvious" comment when I was merely tying to point out that you were trivializing Cerberus\' feelings about the killings. On your part, I found that unbecoming. They gave us their sympathies when the terrorists killed Americans in WTC and the Pentagon. At least you can show some concern for the problems they have, even if it\'s just an everyday thing to us.
-
Im not forced to do that though. We all have choices and feelings in this life.
And yes, that was my opinion that he had his panties in a wad. I understand fully that we live in two different places where some things are common and others arent. Just as you stated yours about me.
-
If you want an idea how how much she is/was hated in the UK in general, and in Manchester in particular, her body has been placed under 24 hour heavy guard due to the possibility of it being mutilated and photographed by enraged members of the public, then sold on to the British tabloid.
Normally, the British press would steer well clear of such activities, but taking into account who she was, and what it was she did, there in no guarantee that they wouldn\'t refuse the photos.
-
In England according to common law, someone like this woman would have been burried underneath a frequently travled road, that way her soul could never rest.
This has been theomen\'s useless fact of the day
-
i dont understand how peep could be fighting for her to be let out..
i really wouldnt care if i never heard about that evil person again
