James Bulger's killer Jon Venables will remain in prison after telling a Parole Board panel that he should stay behind bars.
Venables was just 10 years old when he murdered two-year-old James in Merseyside, alongside fellow 10-year-old Robert Thompson.
Venables and Thompson led James away from a shopping centre, which he was visiting with his mother, and tortured him by kicking him, stamping on him and inserting batteries into his mouth.
