A 19-year-old man who posted a Facebook message claiming a B&Q worker in the Isle of Man was one of James Bulger's killers is due to be sentenced today (Friday).
Wayne Vincent Dale, of Murray's Road in Douglas, admitted using provoking behaviour, and another charge of theft.
The prosecution said that while he was on bail on the provoking behaviour charge he stole money from the house where his girlfriend lived.
James Bulger was a two-year-old child from Kirby on Merseyside, who was abducted and murdered by two ten-year-old boys in February 1993.
His killers, Robert Thompson and Jon Venables, were given new identities when they were released from custody in 2001.
Strict rules laid down by the courts in the United Kingdom protect Thompson and Venables from being identified.
