WHILE Myra Hindley was receiving the last rites, Ian Brady, her partner in crime, remained on hunger strike.
He has been kept alive by liquid fed to him through a tube since soon after he began what he described as a “death strike” on September 30, 1999.
During his failed bid to “leave this cesspit in a coffin”, as he told the BBC in a letter, Brady, 64, revealed to the world the reasons behind his his secret jealousy of Hindley.
“I envy Hindley,” he said. “Myra gets the potentially fatal brain condition, while I have to fight simply to die. I have had enough. I want nothing. My objective is to die and release myself from this once and for all.”
