flag Jon Venables, murderer of James Bulger, faces parole board decision on potential release.

flag Jon Venables, convicted in 1993 for the murder of two-year-old James Bulger, is set to appear before the UK Parole Board for a new hearing, more than two years after his last appeal was denied. flag The 43-year-old, who was released in 2001 but returned to prison in 2010 and 2017 over child abuse imagery, remains deemed a risk to children. flag His mother, Denise Fergus, has been granted permission to attend the private hearing under new victim rights reforms. flag The outcome will determine whether he stays incarcerated or is granted conditional release, drawing national attention to the case and the justice system’s handling of high-profile offenders.
