The Parole Board has confirmed that Jon Venables, one of the killers of two-year-old James Bulger, will undergo a two-day parole hearing on November 14 and 15. This development has reignited the tragic and widely publicised case that shook the UK in 1993.
Venables and Robert Thompson were just 10 years old when they abducted and killed young James Bulger after snatching him from a shopping centre in Bootle, Merseyside. The shocking crime led to their imprisonment with life sentences. However, in 2001, they were released on license with new identities.
