The 10-Year-Old Killers: 2 Boys Murder 2-Year-Old Toddler

from True Crime · host Media Network

This powerful and disturbing documentary covers the outcry approaching the release of Robert Thompson and Jon Venables, the two 10-year-old boys who killed 2-year-old James Bulger in 1993. Re-telling the tragedy, the film presents the protests against their release from an institution, delves into the backgrounds of the killers, their terrible violent act and the impact it caused in UK. It also explores claims that their punishment has been a sham, as reporter Deborah Davies investigates how inmates at secure units are treated and interview experts to learn whether eight years has been sufficient time to successfully rehabilitate the pair.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/true-crime--6473403/support.
