Killer Jon Venables will be given a new identity at a cost to the British taxpayer of £250,000 (€298,811), it was reported today.

KILLER Jon Venables was jailed for two years yesterday after he admitted downloading pornographic images of toddlers.

Images of children having sex were found on killer Jon Venables's computer when he left it at a police station amid fears that his true identity had been discovered, a court heard today.
