One of the two 10-yr-olds who killed little 3-yr-old Jamie Bulger in Liverpool some 25 years ago, Jon Venables has been badly beaten and attacked with boiling water.
Venables and his friend Robert Thompson sadistically murdered young Jamie Bulger when the child let go of his mother’s hand in a shopping centre in Bootle when she was trying to pay a butcher for pork chops.
The two thugs were released after 8 years inside and were given new identity to start their life again.
Venables has been thrown back into prison twice for possession of obscene child images.
This weekend however, the thug got more than he bargained for when an another in-mate found out who he was, started a fight with him and managed to attack him with boiling hot water.
Venables is said to be receiving treatment in the prison’s infirmary.
