The brother of Moors Murders victim Keith Bennett has spoken of his 'anger and pain' in an increasingly bitter row with an author who sparked a new police dig for the child's remains.
After a week of painstaking digging and analysis by police-commissioned experts, yesterday (Friday) GMP revealed no human remains have been found following information from author and amateur sleuth Russell Edwards.
A picture he took purporting to show parts of a child's jaw may simply show vegetation, according to GMP as police called off the dig.

Addressing Alan Bennett's criticisms directly in an interview with ITV News, Mr Edwards said: "I've literally dedicated seven years of my life to find justice for Keith, closure for your family and defeating Brady in his ambition to create the most perfect murder and this is the thanks I get.
"Why not go and meet me, let me show you what I've got and explain the stories instead of just trying to destroy me and my reputation? Which is what has happened on social media since."

Naman Ramachandran Ananth Narayan Mahadevan’s Busan International Film Festival selection “The Storyteller,” based on a short story by Oscar-winning Indian filmmaker Satyajit Ray, isn’t “just another homage” to the late master. Film enthusiast Tapobrati Das Sammaddar recommended Ray’s story “Golpo Boliye Tarini Khuro” to Mahadevan, who was “instantly fascinated by the layered social satire.” The story follows an unpublished Bengali storyteller who answers a help ad from a Gujarati businessman who suffers from insomnia, and there is a twist in the tale. Samaddar translated the story and Kireet Khurana (“T for Taj Mahal”) and Mahadevan developed it into a screenplay that was a faithful adaptation of the original. Mahadevan, who cites Ray’s “Charulata” and “Pather Panchali” as influences, says that the choice of film grammar was the tricky part of the shoot.
