It has been reported by The Sum that he has been put in a category A prison, after he breached the terms of his sentence.
Jon Venables and Robert Thompson were only ten years old when they brutally tortured and murdered two-year-old James Bulger.
They kidnapped the toddler while he was at Strand shopping centre with his mother in Merseyside. They then walked two miles with him beating him with bricks and irons on the way, and then left his mutilated body on a railway track.
Venables with Bulger leaving the Strand shopping centre in 1993.
Both of them were sentenced to 8 years in juvenile prison, and were released in 2001. They were both approved the grant of anonymity for life, which meant they were allowed new identities. Therefore they cannot be pictured now.
This is not the first time that Venables has been in prison since his first offence, as in 2008 he was charged with possession of cocaine and for fighting.
In 2010 he was also put behind bars for another offence of being in possession of a large collection of child porn.
James Bulger’s mother Denise Fergus took to Facebook to say: “ I’m absolutely fuming that once again I’m the last to know, that this has happened a week ago and I only got informed just hours before it’s hit the press. #JusticeForJames.”

Since Venables release in 2001 he has had to have his name changed four times, as his true identity was revealed. In total it has cost taxpayers roughly £5 million trying to rehabilitate him.
