Rejected petition Justice for James

More details

Venables was 10 years old when he and his classmate Robert Thompson, also 10, abducted and murdered three-year-old James Bulger in 1993.

Venables and Thompson were released on licence in 2001 and given new identities due to the notoriety and outrage caused by their crime.

In 2010 Venables had his parole revoked and was jailed for downloading and distributing indecent images of children

Today the parole board granted venables parole!!
What about poor James and his family? He never asked for his life to be so cruely taken
