A thrill killing is a term used to describe a premeditated murder committed by a person who is not necessarily suffering from mental instability, but is instead motivated by the sheer excitement of the act. University students Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb murder 14-year-old Bobby Franks. Leopold, age 19 at the time of the murder, and Loeb, 18, believed themselves to be Nietzschean ubermenschen who could commit a "perfect crime" (in this case a kidnapping and murder). Both were sentenced to life imprisonment plus 99 years; Loeb died in prison at the age of 30, while Leopold was paroled in 1958 after serving 33 years in prison. Two 10-year old boys, Robert Thompson and Jon Venables, abducted and murdered toddler James Bulger in Liverpool, England. Thompson and Venables did not know the child but wished to kill someone. They were imprisoned for eight years.
