The mother of murdered toddler James Bulger has said she is "deeply concerned" about the prospect of one of his killers being released.

Jon Venables served eight years for the two-year-old's murder in 1993 and was freed on licence, along with Robert Thompson, and given lifelong anonymity.

But in 2017 he was jailed again for having child abuse images on his computer.

On Wednesday it emerged Venables had been granted a parole hearing.

Denise Fergus said hearing news had left her in a "state of shock".

Issuing a statement on her behalf, the James Bulger Memorial Trust said: "Denise remains deeply concerned about the potential release of Jon Venables, whom she considers to be one of the biggest dangers to our country.

"She firmly believes that if he is released he will undoubtedly offend again. The thought of him being allowed back into our communities is undeniably alarming."

I 100% agree with her.
It's really cruel she is forced to have to make these points over and over and still he gets more lenient treatment .
