Parole hearing for James Bulger's killer to be held in private
Original: Bulger killer's parole hearing to be held in private https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cm86xzdn3y41o?at_medium=RSS&at_
One of the killers of toddler James Bulger is to have his parole hearing held in private. Venables and Thompson were both aged 10 when they abducted and murdered two-year-old James Bulger in Merseyside in 1993. Venables has been denied parole before, partly due to concerns over his behaviour in custody. The decision to close the hearing has drawn attention because of the lasting public interest in the case.
Why now: The James Bulger case remains one of Britain's most notorious crimes, so any development in his killer's parole process draws wide public attention.
