Moors Murderer Ian Brady breaks bones in Ashworth Hospital fall 22 January 2014 Last updated at 12:23 Moors Murderer Ian Brady has broken two bones in a fall at the Merseyside psychiatric hospital where he is held. A spokesman for Mersey Care NHS Trust, which runs Ashworth Hospital in Maghull, said the 76-year-old had been admitted to a "general hospital" on Tuesday and remained there overnight. Brady was jailed for three murders in 1966 and has been held at Ashworth since 1985. He lost a legal bid in June to be transferred back to a Scottish prison. The trust spokesman added that Brady's condition was "stable." Brady and Myra Hindley, who died in prison in 2002, tortured and murdered five children in Greater Manchester between 1963 and 1965. They were jailed for three of the murders and later confessed to the other two. Brady has been on hunger strike in recent years, being force-fed daily to keep him alive.
