The murder of the English toddler James Bulger by two ten-year-old boys was frontpage news around the world. As was the courtcase that followed. The whole affair was presented in the most horrid detail to a shocked audience. But was this cold-blooded senseless murder of a young boy really such a big exception in crime history? And can ten year old boys be fully held responsible for their dreadful act? This is a human portrait of an evil crime, the two boys that are responsible and the tragedy of the Bulger family.
