Daniel Bartlam was just 14 years old when
he killed his mother, Jacqueline Bartlam, in
cold blood. On Easter 2011, while his
mother slept, Daniel murdered her by
hitting her seven times with a claw
hammer. Daniel set his mother’s body on
fire before ringing the police and reporting
that a burglar had killed her. Detectives
soon noticed inconsistencies in Daniel’s
claims and searched his computer, where
they recovered a deleted file which detailed
his murder plans in the form of a story.
Bartlam had no motive, but Jacqueline’s
former partner testified that Daniel had a
passion for violent films and video games.
The 14 year old was sentenced to a
minimum of 16 years in prison.

7.Eric Smith was arrested in 1993, aged just
13, for the murder of four year old Derrick
Robie. Smith lured Robie into an isolated
park and choked him. He proceeded to
drop rocks on Robie’s head and finally
sodomised him with a tree branch.
Unbelievably, this was the first time Robie’s
mother had ever let him travel alone –
Robie was walking a couple of blocks to a
summer camp. Smith soon confessed to the
murder and was sentenced to a minimum
of nine years. As of April 2014, Smith – who
has been diagnosed with ‘intermittent
explosive disorder’ and was bullied as a
child – has been denied parole seven times.

George Stinney was a 14 year old boy from
South Carolina. In 1944, Stinney was
charged with the murder of two white girls,
Betty June Binnicker (11) and Mary Emma
Thames (7). Stinney, who had been seen
talking to the girls the day before their
bodies were found, was soon caught in a
media circus that would see him convicted
and executed in less than three months.
Stinney was given the electric chair, making
him the youngest person to be executed in
such fashion in the history of the United
States. However, his family have never
given up hope of clearing his name.
Recently, many journalists have outlined
inconsistencies and a lack of physical
evidence to back up the largely
circumstantial case that incriminated
Stinney. Many believe that Stinney became
a victim of the polarising divide between
blacks and whites in South Carolina’s Jim
Crow era.

Alyssa Bustamante murdered her 9 year old
neighbour Elizabeth Olten in Missouri in
2009. Bustamante slit Olten’s throat and
stabbed her before burying her in a pre-
dug grave in a woodland. Bustamante
attacked Olten when she was walking home
from a friends house. The trial heard that
Bustamante had severe psychological
problems, a difficult family life, and had
previously attempted suicide. Despite her
mental health, she was tried as an adult and
sentenced to life in prison. Bustamante
stated that she murdered Olten to see what
killing felt like, and wrote in her diary “I
just f**king killed someone. I strangled
them and slit their throat and stabbed them
now they’re dead. I don’t know how to feel
atm. It was amazing.”

Joshua Phillips was involved in one of the
most shocking adolescent murder trials in
history, after he murdered his 8 year old
neighbour Maddie Clifton. Maddie had left
her home at 5:30pm to play basketball, but
never came back. Joshua claims that he and
Maddie were playing baseball when he
accidentally hit her with a ball. Maddie
started crying, and Phillips claimed he
panicked and hit her in the head to make
her stop screaming

In 1968, 11 year old Mary Bell murdered
two boys in the town of Scotswood, in North
East England. The boys were named Martin
Brown, aged 4, and Brian Howe, aged 3.
Bell strangled Martin Brown in an
abandoned house. A few months later, Bell,
with the help of her friend Norma Joyce
Bell (they were not related), strangled Brian
Howe in the same fashion. The girls also
mutilated Howe’s body and cut an ‘M’ into
his stomach. Bell was imprisoned until 1980,
when she was controversially released with
a new identity. Bell has talked anonymously
about her acts, citing sexual abuse at an
early age as the cause for her criminal
behaviour.

Paul Henry Gingerich played a central role
in the murder of Phillip Danner, the
stepfather of his friend Colt Lundy. The
murder took place on the 21st of April 2010,
when Lundy was 15 and Gingerich was only
12. The pair and their mutual friend Chase
Williams (also 12) were planning to run
away to Arizona together. Lundy knew that
his stepfather would catch them, so Lundy
hatched a plan to kill his stepfather. He
enlisted the help of Gingerich and Williams;
Williams would later get cold feet and
would not participate in the murder.
Lundy convinced Gingerich to follow
through with their plan, however. The two
waited in Lundy’s house for Danner to
return home, shooting him four times in the
chest when he entered the living room.
Gingerich was recently sentenced to 30
years in prison, with the possibility of
parole by the age of 18 if he has engaged
thoroughly with his rehabilitation
programme. The public’s opinion is very
much divided in terms of the decision –
many state that Gingerich should be freed,
believing him a victim of manipulation by
15 year old Lundy, while others believed he
should have been tried as an adult and
subjected to the full force of the law.

1. Jon Venables and Robert
Thompson,
both 10Jon Venables and Robert Thompson were
the murderous duo who became the
perpetrators of one of the most notorious
murders in British history.
In 1993, three year old James Bulger was
waiting for his mother outside a butcher
shop in a shopping mall. Bolger was lured
away by Venables and Thompson while his
mother was distracted. The boys brought
Bulger on a long walk along a canal and
during this time they were spotted by
almost 40 separate witnesses. All witnesses
claimed that they believed Bulger to be
their younger brother. The pair went on to
subject Bulger to physical and sexual assault
and then dumped Bulger’s body on some
railway tracks and covered him with stones
– Bulger was later hit by a train. His body
was discovered two days later. Venables
and Thompson were cutting school at the
time of the murder. They were linked to the
murder after they were spotted on the
mall’s CCTV with Bulger. The boys were
tried in adult court and were placed in
rehabilitation units. They were
controversially released, under very tight
parole agreements, in 2001. The motive
behind the killing is still unknown, though
at the time many public figures asserted
that the boys were influenced by violent
movies.
