Ralph Bulger, 51, the father of murdered toddler James reacted angrily after receiving quotes from a forthcoming Channel 5 documentary where his son's killers say they had a better life behind bars. Ralph said the confession confirmed what he and James's mother Denise had long believed - that Robert Thompson (pictured main) and John Venables had been rewarded rather than punished for the crime. 'The message here is horrific - kill a child and you will get a privileged and cosy life in return,' Mr Bulger told the Mail. When the ten-year-olds abducted and killed James (pictured bottom right) in Bootle, Merseyside, in February 1993, serial truant Thompson was by his own admission 'completely out of control... committing crime and causing trouble'. Thompson, now 35, has managed to stay out of trouble since being released with a new identity in 2001. However, Venables is in jail for the second time for downloading child pornography. Mail.
