Edward Evans was 17 when he was killed on October 6, 1965, at 16 Wardle Brook Avenue in Hattersley, a suburb of Manchester. Brady allegedly attacked Edward with an axe, causing fatal head injuries. Edward’s body was recovered inside the house rather than on Saddleworth Moor where other victims were later found.

David Smith, Hindley’s brother-in-law, was reportedly present that night, witnessed the attack, helped clean up briefly, then fled and told police. Brady was arrested when officers arrived at the house; Hindley was arrested a few days later. Smith’s testimony played a key role in exposing the wider series of murders and the discovery of additional victims buried on the moor.

Does anyone have further information about Edward’s last known movements or the people who might have seen him that night?
