I think about James every day, killer tells court

IN a statement released after he was sentenced, killer Jon Venables said he thought of the murder of toddler James Bulger every day and was “genuinely ashamed” for his latest crimes.

Speaking after the hearing over downloading and distributing child pornography, Venables’ solicitor, John Gibson, said his client was “extremely remorseful” and knows he has let down everyone who has tried to help him.

The solicitor added: “He has said every day since what took place in 1993 he has thought about how different life might have been for all those affected, who he appreciates have had their own reasons for reflection.”
