James Bulger's mum speaks out as grave targeted by thieves yet again

Vile yobs have stolen a memorial statue from the grave of murdered toddler James Bulger for the second time in recent months.

Two-year-old James was murdered by Jon Venables and Robert Thompson, both aged 10, in Liverpool in 1993. His killers were convicted of murder but released in 2001, aged 18.

The ECHO previously reported that on June 22, James' mum Denise Fergus, was told by her husband, Stuart, that a sleeping angel statue from her son's grave was stolen. Her husband was at the grave to give it a clean and put down some new flowers when he noticed it was not there.
