Murderer Brady back at Ashworth

MOORS Murderer Ian Brady has been returned to Ashworth psychiatric hospital after undergoing medical tests.

Brady, 74, who, with Myra Hindley, murdered five children in the 1960s, is understood to have suffered a seizure earlier this week and was taken to Fazakerley General Hospital in Aintree, Liverpool.

A spokeswoman for Ashworth, where the Glasgow-born serial killer has been detained for the last 27 years, said he had "recovered enough" to be discharged from Fazakerley but remained "physically unwell".
