The mother of British toddler James Bulger, whose gruesome killing at the hands of two older children decades ago shocked the nation, has expressed outrage at a new film about her son’s murder.

Denise Fergus told The Mirror that she is calling for a boycott of the new short film, which is said to try and show the “human side” of Jon Venables and Robert Thompson, the two convicted killers who were found guilty of kidnapping, torturing, and murdering 2-year-old Jaimie when they were just 10 years old.
