James Bulger's mum Denise Fergus has called for a public inquiry into aspects of the case and the sentencing of the two killers
A parliamentary debate will be held today following calls for a public inquiry into the handling of the James Bulger murder case.
"We have lived with what we feel are injustices for more than 30 years so to have this petition discussed in the Commons with the potential for an inquiry after it is huge for us." The petition said: "One mystery surrounding the murder of James Bulger is why the 'experts' insisted that Jon Venables was rehabilitated."
In response to the petition, the government said in July 2018: "The murder of Jamie Bulger was an appalling crime which shocked the nation and, 25 years on, continues to be of huge interest and concern. Our deepest sympathies remain with Mrs Fergus and Mr Bulger for the pain and suffering they have endured.
