Myra Hindley’s last words as she lay on her deathbed were revealed by a Roman Catholic priest Michael Teader to be of love for her mother.

According to the Roman Catholic priest, Hindley woke up from unconsciousness once in her final hours and spoke only of her deep affection for her mother, who had visited her frequently amid her long sentence behind bars.

Father Michael Teader became close to Hindley, 60, through his role as Roman Catholic chaplain at her last jail, Highpoint Prison, in Suffolk. He spent more than 20 hours with her after she had been given the last rites in her hospital bed. ‘The last conversation she had before she died concerned her mother. She just expressed concern for her mother – but I will not say exactly what she said. She regained consciousness for only a very short time during the night on Thursday,’ Teader said.

“Myra has always, always ever since I have known her, expressed remorse and sorrow, ” Teader added.

Teader further said he had later telephoned Hindley’s mother at her old peoples’ home in the Manchester area to tell her of her daughter’s final words.

Prior to an operation for a brain aneurysm, Hindley drew up plans for her own funeral. She was understood to have given orders to her lawyers that she was not to be kept alive artificially if she lapsed into a coma. She also ordered that none of her organs should be offered for transplant if she died and gave instructions that her body should be cremated and her ashes scattered at a secret location.

Just 12 people had been invited to attend the service including her mother, niece and brother-in-law. Others included Hindley’s long-time solicitor Andrew McCooey, close friend Trish Forrester and her former lover, criminologist Nina Wilde.

Hindley died on November 15, 2002, in West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust.
