STRANGER TRIED TO ABDUCT ME WHEN I WAS 11

ACTRESS Lesley-Anne Down has revealed she was almost abducted by a stranger aged 11 in a chilling echo of one of the Moors Murders.

The horror came just after the body of Myra Hindley and Ian Brady’s victim Lesley Ann Downey – almost the same age and with an almost identical name – was found on Saddleworth Moor, Gtr Manchester.

Lesley-Anne, who was in TV hits Upstairs, Downstairs and North and South, claims a man tried to get her into a car near her home in Putney, South West London.
