THE mum of murdered toddler James Bulger has labelled one of his killers a “perverted psychopath” after he was allegedly caught with child abuse images for a second time.

Together with Robert Thomp- son, the two 10-year-olds tortured and killed two-year-old James, in Liverpool, in 1993.

“cover up” his latest alleged offence. She said: “Venables has now proved beyond any doubt what a vile, perverted POLICE face accusation­s of brutality over a Youtube clip which appears to show an officer punching a suspect 25 times after pinning him to the ground.

The disturbing footage, which went viral after it was posted last night, shows two male and one female officers restrainin­g boxer Adam Salman, 27.

He was jailed for six weeks for cocaine possession and resisting arrest after the incident in Morden, South London, in psychopath he has always been. What hurts me most is the way the probation service has tried to cover this up. Venables was taken back into custody a week ago yet I was only informed hours before it hit the press.” Denise, of Kirkby, Merseyside, said she would make a complaint to the probation service. May. The person taking the video can be heard saying: “Calm down. F ****** hell, is that police brutality?”.

Social media users also reacted. One said: “There is a way of doing it. This is not profession­al.” Another added: “I hope he’s losing his job.”

The Metropolit­an Police said they knew of the video and the Directorat­e of Profession­al Standards is investigat­ing. The officers have not been suspended.
