James Bulger's mum to meet Dominic Raab in bid keep Jon Venables behind bars

James Bulger's mother is set to meet Justice Secretary Dominic Raab when she will urge him not to release one of her son's killers.

Mr Raab this week agreed to meet Denise Fergus, who will petition him to intervene in a parole ­hearing for Jon Venables, reports the Sunday People. Venables, now 39, was one of two boys who savagely killed two-year-old James in a crime that shocked the country.

Ms Fergus recently made a direct appeal to Mr Raab as part of her bid to keep Venables behind bars. Ms Fergus is also preparing a fresh victim impact statement.
