Why were they freed so early?

VENABLES and Thompson were released on licence aged 18 in 2001, after just eight years.

They were given new identities, and never spent time in an adult jail. Denise is calling for a public inquiry into their release on the grounds they were rehabilitated.

Venables received a two-year sentence for downloading child sex abuse images in 2010. He is awaiting trial for another offence.
