The Mind of Ian Brady

Brady's philosophy included the idea that superior creatures had the right to control (and destroy, if necessary) weaker ones. He was increasingly becoming enamoured with a philosophy that championed cruelty, torture and the superiority of the übermensch. He was an avid fan of Friedrich Nietzsche, and in particular Nietzsche's concept of the Will to Power. Brady had, since a young boy, been fascinated and obsessed with Nazi pageantry and symbolism. Later, he would become fixed upon various books depicting violent paraphilias. Brady and Hindley photographed themselves in sadomasochistic acts, as well as at the burial sites of several of their victims.
