Greenville News INTERNATIONAL Thursday, February 18, 1993 5C Murder of two-year-old grips Brits with fear, shock LONDON (AP) It was just another shopping trip on just another day: a woman and her young son heading into a butcher shop. She turned away for just a moment. She never again saw her child alive. But the 2-year-old boy has become hauntingly familiar to millions of Britons who have watched security camera film of Jamie Bulger toddling away from his mother and into the hands of two teen -age boys. Two days later, his body was found.
The footage silently chronicling every parents' nightmare has also shocked a nation with the possibility the murderers may be little more than children themselves. Police searching for his killers said Wednesday that they were checking a report that an hour before Jamie's abduction two boys were seen trying to lure other children away from their parents in the same Liverpool mall.

ROBINSON FUNERAL HOME, EASLEY Jamie's battered body was found Sunday on a rail line in Liverpool, two days after he wandered away from his mother in a mall butcher shop. Police said the boy was dead before he was hit by a train and there was no evidence of sexual abuse. A coroner's inquest opened Tuesday, and the cause of death was still not known Wednesday. The abduction and murder of children as young as two is rare in Britain, where overall crime rates, though rapidly increasing in recent years, remain far lower than in the United States. An average of 57 children under 5 have been murdered every year in the country of 53 million in the past decade, but only 10 in that period were killed by strangers, government statistics show.
FBI statistics show 675 children aged 4 and under were murdered in 1991 in the United States, which has a population of about five times as large as Britain.
