No, Venables parents were seperated.
I dont dispute the barbarity of their actions but you cant kill someone for what they did as a 10 year old. Venables may not have had the worst upbringing but he did supposedly show genuine remorse for his actions, and the mindset of a ten year old will not be the mindset he has for life. When someone commits a crime at that age, it is easily possible to reform them.
