ā€œHE’S ABOUT TO WALK FREE…!ā€ — Outrage Erupts Across Britain as Court Prepares to Reopen the Case for Jon Venables’ Release, the Convicted Killer of 2-Year-Old James Bulger. His Lawyer Insists He Has ā€˜Solid Grounds and a Strong Advantage’ — Leaving the Victim’s Family Devastated and the Public Demanding Justice Once More


Across Britain, a familiar sense of anger and disbelief has returned. More than three decades after the murder of two-year-old James Bulger, one of the perpetrators, Jon Venables, could soon walk free once again. The Parole Board has confirmed that a new hearing is being prepared to determine whether Venables should be released from prison — a move that has reignited one of the darkest chapters in modern British criminal history.

Venables, now 41, was only ten years old when he and Robert Thompson abducted little James from a shopping centre in Bootle, Merseyside, in February 1993. The horrific crime that followed shocked the nation and continues to haunt it today. After serving eight years in custody, both boys were released in 2001 under new identities. Yet Venables’ repeated breaches of parole — including possession of child abuse images — have kept his name in headlines ever since.

Now, his legal team argues that he has made ā€œsignificant progressā€ in therapy and poses ā€œno credible risk to the public.ā€ According to his lawyer, Venables has ā€œsolid grounds and a strong advantageā€ in the upcoming parole bid, claiming that his client has ā€œaccepted full responsibilityā€ for his past actions and deserves a chance to rebuild his life.

But for James Bulger’s parents, Denise Fergus and Ralph Bulger, the news feels like a deep and cruel wound reopening. ā€œEvery time they even mention releasing him, it’s like reliving the nightmare all over again,ā€ Denise said in a statement. ā€œJames never got a second chance. Why should he?ā€

Public reaction has been equally fierce. Social media has been flooded with messages of support for the Bulger family and calls for tougher laws on offenders like Venables. The hashtag #JusticeForJames began trending within hours of the news breaking, with thousands demanding that the Parole Board block any possibility of release.

A government source acknowledged the growing pressure, telling The Sun: ā€œThere is enormous public concern about this case. Ministers are aware that any decision will be under intense scrutiny.ā€ Some MPs have already called for greater transparency in parole hearings involving notorious offenders, arguing that victims’ families deserve a stronger voice in the process.

This time, Denise Fergus and Ralph Bulger have officially been granted permission to attend the hearing and deliver victim impact statements — a right they fought for over many years. ā€œWe won’t stay silent,ā€ Ralph said. ā€œIf the system won’t protect James, we will.ā€

As Britain waits for the Parole Board’s decision, the haunting image of a smiling toddler holding his mother’s hand on that tragic day in 1993 has once again resurfaced in newspapers and on screens. It serves as a painful reminder that while Venables may one day walk free, for the Bulger family, there can never be freedom from the grief he caused.
