I think it is quite important to figure out what "makes him tick" or what clear psychological problems or damage lead to these incidents - though not with the goal being to try to mend or rehabilitate him... I think it's pretty clear that it will never be safe to have him in society; if he's obtaining child porn then it's pretty clear that he still has no empathy in relation to what he did, and he is still getting thrills from kids suffering... Him reoffending and hurting someone is almost a certainty if he got the opportunity.
But it's still worth examining what "created him" in the first place, so that in future, carers / schools / social services etc. are better equipped to identify risk early and intervene long before something tragic happens.
I don't believe that anyone is "born evil" - there is some reason or set of circumstances that turned these kids into cruel murderers.
