Killer Jon Venables has blamed the mother of James Bulger for the toddler's murder saying that she should never have left him on his own, according to reports. Venables and Robert Thompson were both 10-years-old when they shocked Britain by abducting Bulger, then just 2-years-old, before torturing and killing him. The crime made the boys the youngest killers in modern English history. The duo snatched Bulger from outside a butcher's shop in Bootle, Merseyside, in 1993, while his mother popped into a store for just a few seconds. The toddler's mutilated body was found on a railway line in Walton, Liverpool, two days later.
