Unforgiven: The Boys Who Killed James Bulger (2001)

The murder of James Bulger  is one of the most notorious cases in British criminal history…

On February 12 1993, James Bulger, a 2-yr-old from Kirby, England, vanished from a local mall while accompanying his mother… 2 days later his mutilated body was found on the side of the railway tracks – a nation was shocked.

That shock would quickly turn to unfathomable disbelief  when the perpetrators of the crime turned out to be 2 10-yr-old boys (Robert Thompson & Jon Venables) …

“The pair were found guilty on 24 November 1993, making them the youngest convicted murderers in modern English history. They were sentenced to custody until they reached adulthood, initially until the age of 18, and were released on a lifelong licence in June 2001. In 2010, Venables was returned to prison for violating the terms of his licence of release.

The case has prompted widespread debate on the issue of how to handle young offenders when they are sentenced or released from custody.”  Wikipedia
