Graves. Until her death, his accomplice blamed him that she became a hate figure.

His murders will be recorded as some of the worst in british history. 0n the line is former bbc correspondent, peter gould who had been in contact with ian brady from 1985 until the last few months. Thank you forjoining us. How did you first make contact with ian brady . Happened in 1985. There had been a lot of speculation at the time whether Myra Hindley And Brady could ever be released. They had served 20 years of the sentence. But nothing had been heard from ian brady for a long time so i sent him a brief letter asking if he would apply for parole and he replied saying it is his intention to die behind bars. That was a start of a series of letters for a period of 30 yea rs. Series of letters for a period of 30 years. Track his personality through that period what was he like in many of the letters . Most of the letters were a litany of complaints about his treatment. First of all in the Prison System and then in a secure mental institution. I believe he was diagnosed as a paranoid schizophrenic and he felt that eve ryo ne schizophrenic and he felt that everyone in authority was out to get him. In between all the complaints, you have a glimpse of a man who was actually quite intelligent in many ways in the sense that he was very well read, he followed current affairs. Some of his letters could even be amusing with his observations of life outside the walls of the institution in which he spent so many years but at the end of the day he could not this associate from the fact that he and myra hindley committed the most appalling crimes and rightly they will be remembered as some of the worst crimes of modern times. Did he show any regret, any remorse . This is an interesting question. 0ver show any regret, any remorse . This is an interesting question. Over the yea rs, is an interesting question. Over the years, people were saying, especially in the popular press, that he had absolutely no remorse, he did not regret anything that he had done, killing the children with myra hindley. I pressed him on this ina myra hindley. I pressed him on this in a letter and he eventually replace saying that he felt the phrase he used was my remorse is painfully deep. He said that he did have feelings of remorse for what happened that he said he did not wa nt to happened that he said he did not want to feel he was being made to jump want to feel he was being made to jump through hoops by the popular press, by expressing this remorse in public but when ever i tried to raise the question about his motivation, how he got involved in these terrible crimes, it was clearly a subject he had great difficulty talking about and confronting. What did you get in his last letter . It was a few months ago. The letters became less and less frequent. I think mainly because of his multiple health problems. He was virtually bedridden for the last few months of his lives. I think he also had severe problems with his eyesight is. He was 79, he had a catalogue of health problems. I guess for a lot of people this really will draw a line now, hopefully, under these people this really will draw a line now, hopefully, underthese terrible crimes. Good to talk to you. The journalists who covered the Continuing Saga Of Ian Brady who has 110w Continuing Saga Of Ian Brady who has now died. The governments Emergency Committee cobra has been in session considering its response to the global cyber attack which has affected parts of the Nhs In England and scotland. Some Hospital Trusts are still experiencing problems but the National Crime agency says fears of a new wave of attacks today have not been realised. Microsoft has said the attack should be treated as a wake up call and the governments been accused of failing to invest properly in it. 0ur security correspondent Gordon Corera has the latest. Hospital wards still dealing with the aftermath of fridays cyber attack. The hope is that the worst has passed, but the Question Remains could this have been avoided . The Health Secretary today denied accusations from labour and the Liberal Democrats that Computer Security had been underfunded and the nhs underprepared. Weve been making huge efforts to modernise and invest, despite all the financial pressures. And thats why we were able to maintain our emergency services, why more than 95 of services were up and running within 2a hours, and i think thats an extraordinary achievement. I think the perception has been that this was a form of Malicious Software that was blasted out, and only those institutions which werent secure enough were affected by it. Well, we have a criminal investigation going on at the moment by the National Crime agency, to try and understand exactly why people chose to target who they did. But as i say, if you look internationally, this has affected more than 200,000 victims in 150 countries. But those who didnt have good enough security. Well. And that looks like it includes the nhs. The nhs is a huge network, the Worlds Largest health it network, and over 80 of the nhs was unaffected. This evening, officials gathered for the cabinet Emergency Committee, cobra, including the head of the National Cyber security centre. He says guidance was issued before this attack, but acknowledged people needed to act on such warnings. There is a lot of information out there about vulnerabilities, and there is a lot of information out there about how to defend against them. My message to all organisations is go and find out what those basic steps are you can do to raise your defences, and go and implement them. The Malicious Software was first detected on friday, and it spread rapidly around the world, affecting computers which were not updated and secured. Some of the other companies and institutions hit include fedex, renault in france, german railways, spanish telecoms and nissan. Victims were faced with this message that they were locked out of their computers and would have to pay a ransom to regain access. A race is under way to track down those responsible. 0ne company who works with Law Enforcement say its a question of waiting for money to move this. The attackers will be sitting, waiting for as much money to collect as possible before they start working out when and how theyll move that. That will be a complicated process for them, to try and make sure they move it without being detected. In the Health Service theyre hoping that the worst of this attack is now over, but theres no guarantee that there wont be others in the future. Gordon corera, bbc news.
