12 April 2012
Moors murderer Ian Brady received more than £8,000 in legal aid to fund his court battle for the right to starve himself to death.
Brady, 71 - who killed five children with accomplice Myra Hindley in the Sixties - lost the case and is being kept alive by force-feeding.
He is among four notorious killers who have received more than £175,000 of legal aid to challenge jail conditions or sentences in court. The others are Jeremy Bamber, Dennis Nilsen and Donald Neilson.
