Child killer Jon Venables is set to have his latest bid for freedom heard by the Parole Board.
The now 43-year-old, who tortured and murdered two-year-old James Bulger in 1993 when he was only 10, will have his case heard by parole bosses at an oral hearing more than two years after his previous appeal.
In 2023, the Parole Board rejected Venables’ bid, concluding he still posed a danger to children and could go on to reoffend.
Venables and Robert Thompson, also 10, snatched toddler James from a shopping centre in Bootle, Merseyside, in February 1993.
