SIR – Is it really in the public interest that scum like child-killer Ian Brady should get media attention on a grandiose scale? Does anyone really care about this pathetic, evil man who has brought nothing but pain and misery to his victims’ families? Does anyone care whether Brady goes to a normal prison or not?

I suggest we bury this man and his evil, sickening past for the sake of his victims’ families who have had enough of him over the last 47 years, and so has Joe Public.
