At one point there was a blowing sound into the microphone and a child screaming: "Don't" and "Mum, ah". The tape ran on: Woman (Hindley): "Shut up" Child: "Please God help me, ah, please, oh." Woman: "Come on." Child: "Please, please - Oh (then faintly),"Help, oh, I cannot while you have got hold of my neck. Oh (followed by scream) - Help (followed by gurgling noise)." There were "screams and gurgles". Woman: "Sit down and be quiet" Man (Brady): "Go on."

At another point, the woman said: "Hush, Hush, shut up or I will forget myself and hit you one. I will hit you one."

In another passage, Lesley Ann pleaded: "Can I tell you summat. I must tell you summat. Take your hands off me for a minute, please… Please, mum, please - I cannot tell you. I cannot breathe…Please God …Why? What are you going to do with me?" Man: "I want to take some photographs, that is all." Child: "I want to see my mummy…Honest to God. I will swear on the Bible… I have got to go because I am going out with my Mama. Please, please help me, will you." Man: "The longer it takes you to do this, the longer it takes you to get home."
