James Bulger's mum begs PM to keep killer Jon Venables behind bars ahead of parole hearing

James Bulger’s mum is pleading with Prime Minister Liz Truss to step in to block a bid for freedom by her son’s killer.

Denise Bulger has written to the PM as Jon Venables, 40, faces a parole hearing within days. She said: “He still poses a serious danger to families.”

Denise urged Ms Truss to honour a shelved Tory vow to tighten parole laws for dangerous criminals. With her son’s killer potentially days away from freedom, Denise has begged the PM to honour a Tory pledge to harden parole laws to keep dangerous offenders inside, MirrorOnline reports.
