The man once branded “Britain’s youngest killer” has spoken again, and his words have horrified an entire nation.
After decades of silence, Jon Venables, one of the two boys who abducted and murdered two-year-old James Bulger in 1993, has reportedly made a disturbing confession from behind bars — and the reason he gave for the crime is being called “heartless, twisted, and beyond forgiveness.”
“His new statement isn’t an apology,” one prison insider revealed. “It’s an excuse — and it shows exactly why he should never be freed.”
🩸 The Murder That Still Haunts Britain
On a cold February afternoon in 1993, two ten-year-old boys — Jon Venables and Robert Thompson — lured little James Bulger away from his mother at a shopping center in Bootle, Liverpool.
What happened next remains one of the darkest crimes in British history: the toddler was tortured and killed in a brutal act of violence that shocked even seasoned detectives.
The case sparked national outrage, not only because of the crime itself, but because the killers were children.
Both were convicted, served eight years in juvenile detention, and were later released with new identities — protected by law.
💣 “It Wasn’t My Fault” — Venables’ Shocking Prison Statement
According to leaked sources from Wakefield Prison, where Venables is currently being held, he recently made a comment during a psychological assessment that left staff stunned.
“He said he didn’t mean to kill James,” a source claimed. “He blamed the situation, his childhood, and even the media. He said the real problem was how the world treated him afterward — not what he did.”
One official described Venables’ tone as cold and self-pitying, saying he showed no real remorse.
“He kept referring to himself as a victim,” the insider added. “It was sickening. You could feel the room freeze.”
🔥 “No Remorse, Only Excuses” — Public Reaction Erupts
Once news of Venables’ alleged comments leaked, social media exploded with rage and disgust.
Thousands demanded that his upcoming parole review be canceled, calling him “evil beyond redemption.”
“He doesn’t regret killing James — he regrets getting caught,” one user wrote on X (formerly Twitter).
“How can someone like that ever walk free again?”
Even members of Parliament have reportedly contacted the Ministry of Justice, urging a full investigation into the leaked statement.
💔 James Bulger’s Mother Speaks Out
Denise Fergus, mother of James, said the new reports broke her heart all over again.
“Every time he speaks, it’s another wound,” she said. “He talks about his pain, his life, his second chances. But what about my son? What about the life he stole?”
Denise has long fought to keep Venables behind bars permanently, arguing that his repeated offenses — including child abuse images found in 2010 and 2017 — prove he remains a danger to society.
“He’s not sorry,” she said. “He’s dangerous. And as long as I’m alive, I’ll fight to make sure he never gets out again.”
😨 The Nation’s Most Hated Man
Despite being granted a secret identity after his release in 2001, Jon Venables’ name keeps returning to headlines — each time more disturbing than before.
From his repeated arrests to his disturbing online behavior, Venables has become a symbol of a system that many believe failed to deliver justice.
Now, his latest words have reopened old wounds and revived the debate over whether true evil can ever change.
⚖️ The Question That Divides Britain
Officials at the Parole Board have refused to confirm or deny Venables’ comments, citing “ongoing confidentiality.”
But behind closed doors, sources say his chances of freedom may have just vanished completely.
“Every time he opens his mouth, he reminds us who he really is,” said one former prison officer.
“And who he is… hasn’t changed since 1993.”
❗The Chilling Question Now Echoing Across the UK:
If Jon Venables still feels no remorse after 32 years — what would stop him from killing again?
