A father's outrage: Pledges to kill murderer

(FOX 25 / MyFoxBoston.com) - It's a case that's causing outrage in Rhode Island and around the world.

A convicted child killer and accused cannibal could be released from prison this summer from a medium security prison on good behavior.

Jason Foreman was just 5 years old when he was brutally murdered in 1975. His bones were discovered seven years later, cleaned and shellacked in a dresser. His killer, Michael Woodmansee, plead guilty to second-degree murder and was sentenced to 40 years in prison in 1983. He's now eligible for early release in august because of good behavior.

The boy's father said on a radio show earlier this week that if the killer gets out, he will kill him.

The Rhode Island Attorney General is now taking action and urging the Department of Corrections to do everything it can to prevent the release from happening.
