The father of murdered toddler James Bulger has spoken out with raw emotion and fury after learning that his son’s killer, Jon Venables, is reportedly preparing a fresh bid for release.
Ralph Bulger says he will “fight him until my last breath,” vowing to do everything in his power to keep Venables behind bars. For more than three decades, the Bulger family has lived with unimaginable grief following the 1993 abduction and murder that shocked Britain and the world.
Venables, who was just 10 years old at the time of the crime, has been released and recalled to prison multiple times over the years for further serious offenses. Each development has reopened old wounds for the Bulger family and reignited public outrage.
Now, news of another potential freedom bid has sparked fresh anguish. Ralph Bulger has warned that the danger is “far from over,” expressing deep concern about public safety and the lasting trauma carried by victims’ families long after headlines fade.
The case remains one of the most harrowing in modern British criminal history — a crime that changed laws, shook a nation, and left scars that time has never healed.
As legal processes move forward behind closed doors, one thing is clear: for James Bulger’s father, this fight is deeply personal — and it is not over.
