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.

I think it's quite clear that some people are born with needs, desires, flaws that the rest of us just don't have. Perhaps circumstances/being a victim themselves do trigger those inbuilt needs but clearly this person has a problem/need with regard to children that was there at a very young age and is still there. I don't think it is as easy as saying he was created by his life. All reports I've read is that this particular boy of the two came from a nice home. I think it's time for the authorities to accept he is a danger to children and can't be rehabilitated before he does it again.
