One of James Bulger’s killers could be days away from freedom - despite having been convicted of a string of sickening crimes since his release.
Jon Venables was just 10 years old when he and his friend, Robert Thompson, tortured and murdered two-year-old James after abducting him from a shopping centre in Bootle, Liverpool, in 1993.
After serving eight years, they were released in 2001. While Thompson has stayed out of trouble, Venables has reoffended four times and has returned to prison twice.
