The Moors Murders
Publié dans Serial Killers et autres
CULTURE POPULAIRE
Le couple tueur ressurgit régulièrement dans l'actualité. Leurs forfaits donnent du grain à moudre aux partisans de la peine de mort, comme dans la chanson « archives of pain » des Manic Street Preachers, extraite de l'album « holy bible » :
If hospitals cure
Then prisons must bring their pain
Do not be ashamed to slaughter
The centre of humanity is cruelty
There is never redemption
Any fool can regret yesterday
Nail it to the house of lords
You will be buried in the same box as a killer, as a killer, as a killer
A drained white body hanging from the gallows
Is more righteous that hindley's crotchet lectures
Pain not penance, forget martyrs, remember victims
The weak die young and right now we crouch to make them strong
Kill yeltsin, who's saying? zhirinovsky, le pen, hindley and brady, ireland, allit, sutcliffe, dahmer, nielson, yoshinori ueda, blanche and pickles, amin, milosovic
Give them respect they deserve
Give them the respect they deserve
Execution needed
A bloody vessel for your peace
If man makes death then death makes man
De nombreux films leur ont été consacrés . Des sites internet commémoratifs sur certaines victimes existent, notamment sur les sites internet "gone too soon" et "find a grave".
