James’ father Ralph has previously warned against Venables’ release saying the parole board was ‘hoodwinked’ into thinking the killer was reformed.

A Parole Board decision on whether Jon Venables will be released from jail has been delayed so that more psychiatric reports can be completed.

In 2010, Venables was then sent back to prison for possessing indecent images of children, and again for the same crime in 2017. He is currently serving a 40-month sentence, passing the halfway mark in October. But the case has now been deferred until August while the board awaits the findings of more psychiatric reports. It will then be decided whether there will be a hearing.

In August, James’ mum Denise Fergus pleaded with the board to deny Venables early release, urging them to ‘finally admit this man is a threat and danger to society’.
