A video still of missing boy James Bulger, aged 2 years old, being led away by a youth in the 'New Strand' shopping centre in the Bootle area of Liverpool. * 12/2/03: Thousands of Merseysiders are expected to observe a one-minute silence to mark the tenth anniversary of James' murder, and the flag over the Town Hall in Liverpool will fly at half-mast in memory of the two-year-old Kirkby boy whose battered body was found on an isolated railway line. His schoolboy killers, Robert Thompson and John Venables, now free and living with new identities, were detained indefinitely following a high-profile trial at Preston Crown Court.
