James Bulger's killer Jon Venables could be freed from prison again in just a matter of months after being reconsidered for parole.
James, two, was abducted, tortured and beaten to death by 10-year-olds Jon Venables and Robert Thompson in Bootle, Merseyside, in February 1993 in a horrific crime which shocked the nation.
The pair became the youngest ever to be convicted of murder after James' body was found on a railway track two days later.
They were both convicted in 1993 and given life sentences, a source of controversy given their age.
Venables, now 43, was released in 2001 after eight years in youth custody but was caught with images of child sex abuse on his computer and twice recalled to prison, in 2010 and 2017.
