CHILD killer Jon Venables is to face a two-day parole hearing, which could potentially see him released from prison before the end of the year.
Bulger killer to face two-day parole hearing

The hearing is scheduled for November 14 and 15, and a decision on whether prisoners can be released is usually made within 14 days.

Venables and Robert Thompson, who were then just 10 years old, tortured and killed two-year-old James Bulger after snatching him from a shopping centre in Bootle, Merseyside, in February 1993.

The two boys were jailed for life but released on licence with new identities in 2001. Venables was sent back to prison in 2010 and 2017 for possessing indecent images of children, and was given a 40-month sentence.
