A parole hearing next month for one of the men who killed infant James Bulger in 1993 is to take place behind close doors, the Daily Mirror reports. Jon Venables, who was 10 at the time of the murder, spent eight years in jail before being released on license, but in 2017 was jailed again after child abuse images were found on his computer. Journalists and James’s mother, Denise Fergus, had argued the parole hearing should take place in public. The paper reports that Ms Fergus is said to be “disappointed but not surprised” at the decision.
