Venables and Thompson were the youngest convicted murderers in the UK in more than a century. They were released in 2001 on licence for life, with both banned from ever returning to Liverpool. They were also given new identities.
Thompson has not reoffended – but Venables was sent back to jail in 2010 and 2017 after being caught with child sex abuse images on his computer.
