Toddler鈥檚 killer freed from jail for 2nd time
Print Edition
One of the killers of James Bulger, the two-year-old boy whose torture and murder shocked Britain 20 years ago, has been released from prison for a second time, sources said yesterday.
Jon Venables, 31, was freed from prison after being locked up in 2010 for downloading images of child abuse.
Venables had previously served eight years for murdering two-year-old James in Liverpool, northwest England, in 1993.
Because of the sensitivity of the case, the killer has reportedly been given his fourth new identity at a reported cost of 250,000 pounds (US$390,000).
A friend of James’s father said Ralph Bulger believes Venables will offend again.
“He hasn’t put a time on it but he is convinced he will re-offend,” said the friend, who asked not to be identified.
The toddler’s mother, Denise Fergus, told The Sun newspaper that Venables is “a danger to the public.”
“He lies for his own sick ends,” she said.
“The Probation Service didn’t monitor him properly last time so I have no faith in their ability to do that now.
“They should’ve kept him locked up for a long time.”
Venables was just 10 years old when he and his friend, Robert Thompson, tortured and murdered James on a railway line after abducting him from a shopping center.
A spokeswoman for the Ministry of Justice said: “We do not comment on individual offenders.”
