Spoiler:

Robert Thompson and Jon Venables were only 10-years-old when they became the country’s youngest murderers in 250 years.
In February 1993, Little James was led away by the depraved duo while his mother was in a butcher’s shop at the busy shopping centre.

A picture taken from CCTV footage shows the tot being taken by the hand in what would become one of the defining images of the shocking case.
The killers walked James for two and half miles and were spotted by 38 people – some of whom challenged the pair.
Venables and Thompson told passers-by that the distressed toddler was their younger brother or that he was lost and they were taking him to a local police station.
The pair took James to a railway line and tortured, beat and sexually assaulted him.

They poured modelling paint into his eyes, stoned him and clubbed him with bricks, before leaving him on the railway line to be hit by a train.
After killing the tot they left his body near the tracks where it was discovered two days later.
The pair were jailed for the crime but released in 2011.

No it wasn’t - poor little lad. His mum has had to be so strong. I hope he knows how much she loves him.
