Hindley died on Friday afternoon aged 60 after suffering respiratory failure.

Police are guarding her body amid fears of attacks by members of the public.

There are also concerns photographers might attempt to snatch pictures and sell them to the newspapers.

Winnie Johnson, the mother of Keith Bennett, one of the youngsters murdered by Hindley and her lover Ian Brady, said: "I just hope she goes to hell."

She added: "I have no sympathy for her, even in death."

Hindley was readmitted to West Suffolk hospital at Bury St Edmunds on Tuesday.

She had spent several days there earlier this month following a suspected heart attack.

A chain smoker, she had experienced ill-health for much of her 36 years behind bars, suffering from angina, suspected strokes and osteoporosis.

Hindley and Brady, now 64, were jailed for life at Chester Assizes in 1966.

They had both murdered 10-year-old Lesley Ann Downey and Edward Evans, 17.

Brady was also convicted of murdering 12-year-old John Kilbride while Hindley was found to have been an accessory to that killing.

In 1987 the pair confessed to killing 12-year-old Keith Bennett and Pauline Reade, 17.

During their investigations, police found a harrowing 16-minute audio tape of Lesley Ann Downey being stripped and abused.

The body of Mrs Johnson's son Keith has never been found.

Hindley had clung to the hope that she might one day win her freedom but successive home secretaries were determined she should die behind bars.

In a statement, her solicitors said: ""Myra was deeply aware of the terrible crimes she had committed and of the suffering caused to those who died and to their relatives.

"She was acutely aware that she would not be forgiven by many."

Hindley is understood to have ordered that none of her organs should be offered for transplant and detailed that she wanted to be cremated and her ashes scattered at a secret location.

There will be a coroner's inquest into her death as is routine for prisoners who die in custody.

Arrangements have been made for a funeral service to be held in Cambridge

Brady is being held in a prison hospital and has also been suffering from ill health.

Ah well. I don't expect it'll be long before Brady bites the bullet, especially now that they've taken away his computer...

Why don't you all shut up.
You have no idea about the crimes she committed because they took place in the sixties.

But the Sun tells you to hate her, so hate her like a mindless guppie.

The reason Myra Hindley could not be released was that she was at danger from the public. I doubt very much that she still posed a threat to anyone.

Who am I to comment though? These crimes happened 20 years or so before I was born.

I couldn't get the Life forum to load, so I had to post it here. If I already knew that there was a topic, I wouldn't have done one myself. Thanks for the info though Ros.
