For the average reader who hasn’t come across the above surveillance image in the past, it may look like just another routine CCTV image. None of the individuals is seen to be in a rush, and neither are any of them flashing a weapon of any sort. However, a close inspection of the entire visual footage reveals the cooking of a rather sinister plot.

The footage reveals a pair of fifth-grade boys entering a shopping complex. Within minutes following their entry, they walk out of the complex with a seamlessly innocent toddler alongside them. The series of actions which then followed on, took the entire world by storm. These boys would go on to commit some of the most horrendous crimes in England’s history. Even the most insane barbarian would have thought twice before committing such a slaughter, given the fact that the victim was just two-years-old at the time of his murder. What’s furthermore shocking is the age of the boys themselves; they were just ten-years-old at the time of their conviction.
