Venables is one half of a pair of notorious child killers who senselessly murdered two-year-old James Bulger in 1993.

He was just ten years old when he abducted the two-year-old from a shopping centre in Bootle, Merseyside, with his friend Robert Thompson.

The evil pair tortured and murdered the tot, whose body was found by a railway line.

Venables and Thompson were found guilty of Bulger's abduction and murder on November 24, 1993 - making them the youngest people to be jailed for murder in English criminal history.
