James Bulger’s mother has revealed that one of his killers, Jon Venables, may never be free under a planned parole overhaul.
Denise Fergus says Justice Secretary Dominic Raab promised her his Reform Bill would keep Venables, who has reoffended twice, in jail. She said: “It would be historic.”
As she spent yet another heartbreaking Christmas without her son, Denise took comfort from the government plan and from the words of a police forensic psychologist.
