James Bulger killer Robert Thompson says he had a 'better life and education' after he was jailed for the murder
A new documentary shows how the now-36-year-old child killer admitted he saw the irony in his statements and expressed remorse for his involvement in the killing
Robert Thompson, one of the ten-year-old boys who was responsible for the torture and murder of toddler James Patrick Bulger in Liverpool in 1993, has expressed how he's had a "better life" as a result of being jailed for the horrific crime in a new documentary set to air this week. According to the Daily Mail, the documentary includes comments from Thompson — whose new identity is unknown — made to the parole board who was considering his application for freedom. The now-36-year-old reportedly claims that his time at the Barton Moss secure unit in Manchester, where he spent close to a decade in incarceration, brought him huge benefits.
