Letter: Bulger judgment

Sir: Whilst I can sympathise entirely with the family of the murdered toddler James Bulger, one has to realise that the early release of his killers would not mean that they would be able to carry on with their lives with no further consequences from their actions.

For their own safety, they will never be able to return to Liverpool and will have to be relocated to another part of the country. A new identity will make it difficult for them to become employed and this will mean that they will find it difficult to form relationships.

Their punishment will continue for the rest of their lives.
