And they abducted a young lad called Edward Evans from a railway station in Manchester and took him back to their house and murdered him there.
And Smith was present during this event.
He was married to Myra Hindley's sister, Maureen.
He came out and went home.
Completely shell-shocked by what he'd seen because Brady beat this kid to death.
And between him and his wife, they decided they were going to call the police because I think it dawned on Smith very quickly that he was probably the next victim because he knew too much.

The police went to the house the next morning and they obviously arrested Brady straight away because they knew Brady had committed the murder.
And they found the body in Maria Hindley's bedroom, all trussed up and hidden in plastic sheeting.
And she was arrested shortly afterwards.
