Mass murderer Ian Brady & notorious killers ‘glorified’ in vile Top Trumps-style game

The evil mass-murderers in the twisted card game include Yorkshire Ripper Peter Sutcliffe, 69, who slaughtered 13 women.

Dr Harold Shipman, who killed at least 218 of his mostly elderly patients, is described as ‘prolific’ in his card’s biography.

Moors Murderer Ian Brady, 78, is also among the evil faces depicted on the cards along with his accomplice Myra Hindley, who together, brutally killed five children and hid the bodies in baron moorland.

The collectable cards, currently available on online craft website Etsy, cost £5.71 per card, while an entire pack is priced at £70.

Also shown is 60s child murderess Mary Bell, 58, who killed two boys aged 11, and each killer’s card carries a description of their atrocities.

The artists who created them have been slammed for “glorifying” the fiends.

Last night John Stalker, the former Deputy Chief Constable of Greater Manchester Police who worked on the Moors Murders case, condemned the people behind them.

Mr Stalker said: “I don’t know how these people who glorify killers and serial killers can justify this.

“I suspect none of them has ever met a truly bad man or woman. They have got no real understanding of what it is they are glorifying.”

Mr Stalker added: “It’s going to be a painful experience for people who lost loved ones to serial killers to have it all resurrected again."

Last night Etsy bosses promised to investigate the cards.

They said they did not allow listings “that promote, support or glorify acts of violence or harm.”

Ian Brady, who has been on hunger strike for many years and was declared clinically insane in 1985, made headlines again recently when it emerged he had revealed the whereabouts of Keith Bennet’s body to a close friend — one of his doctors.

Brady’s pal, Dr Alan Knightly, speaking about the whereabouts of the 12-year-old boy’s remains, said: “Keith Bennett’s body is at the north side of Manchester.

"There is a deep rise on the right where John Kilbride was buried. If you climb up the hill you turn left where it turns flat, turn left at Shinybrook and they walked for three miles.

"Brady led the way along Shinybrook.

"He had a pre-laid plan for Myra to take the rope after three miles then Brady switched the leadership and made Myra go and put the ­stranglehold on Keith Bennett, raped him and killed him.”

Dr Keightly claims to have informed police of the location.
