JAMES Bulger’s killer Jon Venables has been granted a new parole hearing – and believes it is his last chance of freedom.
The fiend has been told his case will be heard in the coming weeks.
He hopes it will lead to his release from HMP Frankland, Co Durham.
The murdered toddler’s family had hoped a planned law change would have been made by now to potentially block Venables’ release.
James’ mum Denise Fergus, 55, and dad Ralph, 56, have written statements opposing his release.
