Myra Hindley: Wagner

Myra Hindley and her partner Ian Brady were responsible for the Moors Murders, killing five children in and around Manchester between 1963 and 1965.

The pair developed a shared love of German composer Richard Wagner.

The pair did use popular songs as a secret reference to their victims, including Girl Don't Come by Sandie Shaw, 24 Hours from Tulsa by Gene Pitney and It's Over by Roy Orbison.
