Moors murderer Ian Brady has been discharged from hospital after he suffered a seizure and became 'acutely unwell', a spokesman for his psychiatric unit has said.
Brady returned to Ashworth psychiatric unit two days after he was admitted to Fazakerley Hospital in Aintree, having undergone a series of tests.
A spokeswoman said: "(He) remains physically unwell and will be treated by Ashworth Hospital's own physical healthcare team in conjunction with any expert input required from consultants at the general hospital."
Fazakerley Hospital in Aintree, Liverpool, where Brady was taken on Monday
Brady, 74, who was jailed in 1966 for murdering three children, has been detained at Ashworth high security psychiatric hospital in Maghull, Merseyside, since 1985.
The serial killer has been tube-fed since refusing food 12 years ago.
Brady and his partner, Myra Hindley, were responsible for the murders of five youngsters in the 1960s
Brady is due to attend a mental health tribunal on Monday regarding his application to be transferred to a Scottish prison and be allowed to die, but his appearance at that hearing is now in doubt.
The mental health hearing on Monday could be a rare chance to see him in public.
It is only the second time such a hearing has been held in public.
The tribunal is due to take place at Ashworth and be relayed to the Civil Justice Centre in Manchester, where the public will be able to observe the proceedings, Judge Robert Atherton ruled.
Brady's solicitor, Richard Nicholas, said earlier today that he "remained hopeful" the tribunal will go ahead as planned.
The stepfather of Lesley Ann Downey's, one of Brady's victims, Alan West told ITV Granada Reports: "I only wished in one way that he would end up the same way as Hindley did.
"Don't come out of the hospital. The only way out is in a box. I'll be happy."
