Mother of murdered toddler James Bulger reveals killer may never be freed under new plans
The mother of James Bulger has revealed one of his killers may never be freed under new parole rules. Denise Fergus has said that the justice secretary, Dominic Raab, has promised her a new bill would keep Jon Venables, who has reoffended twice, behind bars.
"He was clear that once Venables and Thompson were named as possible suspects, in the frame, he knew very quickly that they were guilty. And whilst others were blind-sided and distracted by the fact that they were such physically small children, which some thought meant that it was impossible they could have committed such a crime, his brain quickly defined them as murderers.
"He said James was ‘injured in all sorts of different ways and whilst he might have been injured in a way that would have included, if you like, all of his body, there wasn’t what you would call an adult sexual attack on him’." "Mr Raab has told me straightforwardly that under his new legislation it would basically be a case of ‘two strikes and you stay in prison’ . That would apply to the three most serious types of criminals –paedophiles, child killers and terrorists. There would not be endless chances at rehabilitating anyone who had committed this type of crime.
