Six years on from a petition which asked why murderer Jon Venables was freed to commit more offences, MPs have renewed calls for a public inquiry.
The Government must lay out all the facts of the case of murdered toddler James Bulger in a public inquiry to show there is nothing to hide, ministers have heard.
Jon Venables and Robert Thompson were both 10 when they kidnapped, tortured and murdered two-year-old James in Liverpool in February 1993 “I support a public inquiry, those in power trot out the usual lines, it’s too expensive, time consuming, and resource-intensive, there’s nothing to see here. During a debate on the petition signed by more than 213,000 people, Labour MP Paula Barker called on the Government to lay our the facts and conduct a public inquiry
Labour MP Jess Phillips said the “standard of communication” which should have been afforded to James’s mother Denise Fergus “has not been delivered”, and raised concerns about the treatment of other parents in similar situations.
