    About this ebook

    Did Myra Hindley fall in love with the wrong man, a violent man, who fantasized about killing children?

    There is no doubt that Ian Brady was evil.

    But perhaps he was merely sleeping with the devil.Perhaps Myra was always meant to be a woman who was a serial killer, a female serial killer who preyed upon children.

    She and Ian did kill children. They did it for the fun of it. Ian got off on it. He loved the sex and so did Myra.They were sick. They were psychopaths. And they did it for love.

    Who was Myra Hindley and did her punishment of life in prison fit her crime?

    Myra believed she should hang for her crimes. But was Myra really to blame for becoming a serial killer?

    Perhaps she was just a lonely, desperate, bored woman, looking for a way out of her despair.  Maybe Myra was just another woman who found the wrong man.

    Myra loved children. She didn't want to kill children. But she did. Myra helped Ian kill children and would be branded in history as "The Most Evil Woman in Britain."

    Sleeping With The Devil: A Shocking True Crime Story of the Most Evil Woman in Britain is a biography of a criminal, in which award-winning journalist Rod Kackley explores the mind of Myra Hindley and her undying love for a violent, twisted, psychopath.

    Rod Kackley

    It’s all about the story, as far as Rod Kackley is concerned. Whether it’s Shocking True Crime Stories or one of his many works of fiction. Rod wants to keep you turning pages and reading incredible tales of criminals, their victims, and their capture. Spoiler alert: No matter how long it takes, the bad guys rarely win. But it’s the criminal who is often the most compelling character. That’s true whether it’s “Mommy Deadliest,” the story of a woman who kills her children, or “The Murder of Thora Chamberlain,” the story of a teenage girl and her kidnapper. In Rod’s world of fiction, he spins yarns about “The Coffee Shoppe Killer, a woman who kills her lovers when they disappoint her. A teenage girl wraps a serial killer around her finger in “Go Big or Go Dead.” Then there’s “The Murder of Emma Brown,” where two young women go out to party one night, and one only returns home. Written in Kalamazoo, Michigan, Rod’s books and stories allow his readers to brush up against the world of crime without getting hurt. And it’s a heck of a ride!

      Sleeping With The Devil - Rod Kackley

      1

      Myra Hindley was proud of herself. And didn’t she have a right to be? The woman who was branded two decades before as a brassy blonde and the most evil woman in Britain had turned herself into an intelligent, well-educated woman.

      She had earned a bachelor's degree from Open University; one of the biggest universities in the United Kingdom for undergraduate education.

      But Myra also knew that she was evil.

      How could she think anything else?

      Myra and her lover, Ian Brady, tortured and killed five children in the 1960s, burying the young victims of their homicidal mania on Saddleworth Moor in Manchester.

      There was no doubt in her mind that she was wicked, maybe even more wicked than Ian Brady, her lover.

      Although by the end I had become as corrupt as Ian was, there is a distinction, Myra told a psychiatrist at Highpoint Prison at Stradishall, near Newmarket.

      She admitted that even though it was Brady’s idea to start to savagely torture and kill children, welfare workers who interviewed her said Myra's involvement shifted from one of fear to one of a willing participant.

      You enjoyed the feeling of affinity with Mr. Brady which these offenses afforded you? asked a doctor.

      Tears began to fall from her eyes.

      I did not instigate. But I knew the difference between right and wrong, Myra admitted. I didn’t have a compulsion to kill. I wasn’t in charge. But in some ways, I was more culpable because I knew better.

      Myra knew she was coming to the end of her life. She had spent 36 years behind bars suffering ill health. Doctors diagnosed a long list of medical problems including the heart condition angina, high blood pressure, and the brittle bone disease, osteoporosis. She also suffered at least one stroke.

      She was so hated in Britain that police and doctors had to set up secret missions to smuggle Myra in and out of hospitals for fear that she would be assassinated. Police officers, who were stationed strategically along the route between her prison cell and the hospitals, along with those guarding her, were dressed in civilian clothing.

      She was handcuffed while traveling. A 6-to-8-foot long closeting chain, ran from one of the handcuffs on Myra’s wrist to the wrist of a police officer.

      The cuffs and chains were standard procedure for transferring Category A women; female criminals who were thought to be the most dangerous and violent prisoners.

      However, British prison authorities didn’t consider Myra to be much of an escape risk. Her osteoporosis had also eliminated any chance of violent behavior.

      But police used the cuffs and closeting chains because of
