The boy was snatched 58 years ago by Ian Brady and Myra Hindley. His body has never been found

Police have been digging on Saddleworth Moor for murder victim Keith Bennett after reports of human remains being found. Police are treating the discovery, reportedly a skull, with caution.

The suspected remains were found during an independent search, before being reported to Greater Manchester Police.

Keith, 12, was snatched 58-years-ago by Ian Brady and Myra Hindley and the case has never been resolved.

Officers were pictured digging on the moor near Dove Stone Reservoir in Greenfield today. They called off the excavation around 6.15pm due to deteriorating light and will resume tomorrow (Saturday).

In a statement today Greater Manchester Police said: “We have always said that GMP would act on any significant information which may lead to the recovery of Keith and reunite him with his family.

"Officers met with Mr Edwards yesterday evening (29th September) and he was able to locate a site of interest and provide us with further details of the work he has been carrying out.

"We are at the very early stages of assessing the evidence which he brought to our attention, but have taken the decision to excavate an area of land with a view to determining what lies there.

"It is far too early to be certain whether human remains have been uncovered, but out of respect for Alan Bennett, who we regularly maintain contact with, we have informed him of this potential development."
