Is justice finally just around the corner for Keith? His brother’s thoughts…

Alan Bennett, the brother of Keith – victim of Hindley and Brady – has shared these thoughts.

All we can say at The Society is well done Alan and as always we are right behind you.

Alan wrote: “I received an email from the Home Office with an update on the progression of the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill. In particular the part that is of main interest to us as Keith’s family and, hopefully, for other families in the future that are in a similar position to us regarding missing loved ones. The main part was as follows: The Bill has passed through the House of Commons and the process will now start again through the House of Lords, expected to take place between September and December with the hope that initial stages may be completed before.

When the Bill was in Committee stage, the Minister for Safeguarding and the opposition’s shadow Policing Minister noted their support for the measures intended to help the police find human remains and expressed their hope that those measures would be able to provide some support for Keith’s family.

So, things are moving along although frustratingly slowly, but still moving along. That can only be a good thing.

Once again, thank you all for your care and support for Keith and his family over all those years and continuing to the present day. It is always very much appreciated and makes the fight for justice that much easier to endure and gives us the boost to keep going.”
