| | CNN.com - Paper told to justify Bulger report - June 25, 2001 |
 | | The government said last week that Thompson and Venables, who battered Bulger to death when they were 10 years old, are to be freed after serving less than nine years of their sentence. |
 | | His killers had mercilessly beaten the toddler to death with an iron bar and bricks, then put his body on the tracks in the hope that a train would run over it, hiding evidence of their fatal blows. |
 | | With the government struggling to keep the killers' new identities and whereabouts secret, Britain's Times newspaper reported on Monday that a recent photograph of Thompson was being sought by foreign magazines willing to pay up to £35,000($49,500) for its use. |
