IN 1993, Jon Venables was one of two 10 year olds who carried out the horrific murder of Jamie Bulger.
Venables was released from prison in 2001 after serving only eight years for this horrific crime, and given a new identity.
Since then he has been back to prison for offences relating to indecent images, released again, and today has been sentenced to over three years for more offences involving indecent images of children.
This time he shouldn’t have been jailed, but instead released into the community under his real identity. He would get his just desserts this way.
