Obviously I don’t know if that’s the evidence the German police have, but it just struck me as very possible - after all, it was the photos they took of their victims’ burial sites that helped the police in Lancashire and eventually dammed Brady and Hindley.

Sen - my view is that anybody who sets out to kidnap, sexually abuse, and murder a child has a very serious, and almost certainly incurable and untreatable, mental illness, and should be incarcerated for the rest of their natural lives. I hold no truck with capital punishment, but whole life imprisonment - absolutely.
