Jon Venables to remain in prison for at least two more years

Jon Venables will stay in prison for another two years because he didn’t appeal in time to be released.

The man who killed toddler James Bulger is now 41 years old. He was told in December that he would not be released from prison because it would not be safe for the public. He said he will fight this decision.

People said he had gone crazy and was acting wild after the parole board hearing. He kept saying he was a victim of unfair treatment.

Venables had a deadline to challenge the decision, but his lawyers said it wouldn’t help.

And now he missed the opportunity, so he will stay where he is for a while.

He might never be released because they want to change the parole law. This means the justice secretary will decide if dangerous sex offenders can be freed.

James’ mum, Denise Fergus, said this is the best way to start the year.

“This is really important for us and for other families who might experience what we went through if this person gets out. ”

We’re relieved to hear that he can’t appeal anymore. It means we can go on with our lives for at least two more years without worrying about anything he might do to us or others.

‘It gives us room to relax and concentrate on the good things in our lives. ‘

They were found guilty and given at least eight years in jail.

Both murderers were let out of jail in June 2001 with the condition to be on good behavior for the rest of their lives. They were also given new names and will never be identified in public for their safety.

Thompson is believed to be in a relationship with a man who knows his real identity and is living in the northwest.

Venables went to jail again in 2010 for having pictures of kids that were not okay to have.

He was let go three years after, but then he was sent back to prison in 2017 for getting caught with bad pictures of kids. He has been in jail ever since.

He asked to be released from prison in 2020, but they said no because he had only served 40 months of his sentence.

Denise wants the government to investigate her son’s death. She said, “The government has two years to pass this bill and show that they are serious about it. ”

This week, she also won another victory in her fight to remove unpleasant videos that show AI simulations of her son talking about his death.
