Paper awaits decision on Bulger ‘injunction breach’

The Manchester Evening News was today waiting to hear whether Attorney General Lord Goldsmith would take action over an allegation that the newspaper breached a High Court injunction to protect the anonymity of James Bulger’s killers.

The newspaper has said it ‘‘would never knowingly breach an injunction’’ but sparked concern when it printed details of the whereabouts of Jon Venables and Robert Thompson, appearing to breach the conditions of the injunction.
