Jon Venables, one of James Bulger’s killers, could be freed from prison ‘within weeks’, according to British authorities.
Venables, who is currently in prison after his licence was revoked due to repeated drug and child pornography offences, is scheduled to attend a parole hearing in the near future. He has been returned to prison twice since his original release in 2010.
There are fears that if the convicted killer is released under a new identity, he may go on to commit further crimes.
James Bulger was just two years of age when he was abducted by 10-year-olds Jon Venables and Robert Thompson in 1993. The pair tortured and killed the toddler in a crime that shocked the world.
