Moors murder Ian Brady has left supporters a bizarre box of trinkets gathered during his 51 years behind bars.

The serial killer, who died in Ashworth High Security Hospital in May, has refused to reveal final resting place of one of his victims Keith Bennett.

Brady and his girlfriend Myra Hindley were jailed for life in 1966 for abducting, torturing and sexually abusing five children and teenagers over a two-year period.

Brady was found guilty of snatching and killing 12-year-old John Kilbride, Edward Evans, 17, Lesley Ann Downey, 10, while Hindley was convicted of murdering Downey and Evans and shielding her lover in the third case.

In the 1980s, the couple admitted abducting and murdering 16-year-old Pauline Reade on her way to a Manchester disco in 1963 and killing Keith Bennett, 12, in 1964.

They were finally caught when Hindley's brother-in-law tipped off police.

Now, according to the Sunday Express, Brady has left a cardboard box filled with mementos he collected while in prison.

Myra Hindley was cremated in November 2002 following a private funeral service, although Brady's body has yet to be released despite his death in May

The serial killer has left detailed instructions for his funeral, including his wish to be cremated in Scotland.

However, his body has not yet been released.

The Sunday Express said several people attended the office of Brady's solicitor in Liverpool to receive their gifts.

One friend of an unnamed woman told the Sunday Express: 'She is telling people on Facebook that she has collected her box which had a letter to her from Brady inside telling her how to behave at his funeral.

'There have been a few of his penpals and supporters turning up to collect these cardboard boxes, which were apparently sealed with tape.'

Greater Manchester Police still hope they will be able to recover Keith Bennett's body. The 12-year-old was abducted and murdered in 1964.
