[I don't know if i'm posting it on the right forum. If not - sorry for that.]


This is the full Lesley Ann Downey tape transcript taken by Leonard Milner, a shorthand typist of the Supreme court in 1966. I didn't found anyone posting it on goregrish yet, so I decided to post it myself. The transcript was provided from (now deleted) Schadenfreude. blog.
The original tape will probably never be released to the public. I've tried to include as much information in this post as I could, but also to keep it short.

Here's a quote from Wikipedia of what happened:

"Brady and Hindley visited a funfair in Ancoats on 26 December 1964 and noticed that 10-year-old Lesley Ann Downey was apparently alone. They approached her and deliberately dropped some shopping they were carrying, then asked her help in taking the packages to their car, and then to Wardle Brook Avenue. At the house Downey was undressed, gagged, and forced to pose for photographs before being raped and killed, perhaps strangled with a piece of string. Hindley later maintained that she went to fill a bath for Downey and found her dead when she returned; Brady claimed that Hindley killed Downey. The following morning Brady and Hindley drove Downey's body to Saddleworth Moor, and buried her‍—‌naked with her clothes at her feet‍—‌in a shallow grave."

I wonder if you touched things he touched, sat on his chair, touched books in the library (if your school had one of those)
lol. My mates mum remembers him. It was Shawlands Academy in Glasgow...
 
This reminds me of the Wiiliam Bittaker case (the Toolbox Killers) where William and some other pos kidnap a teenage girl and do unimaginable things to her as they rape her. Of course the shmucks recorded it (only audio I think - or that was all that was played in court). After reading 5 mins of it I had to turn it off
