James Bulger: Jon Venables Guitar Lessons And An Oasis Wonderwall

by | 9th, April 2010

JON Venables has a “cushy number”. So says the Sun, which focuses on one of Jamie Bulger’s two killers. Turns out that Venables is getting guitar lessons in jail. And – shock of shocks – he’s not paying for them himself. You’re paying for them. Well, you are if you pay taxes.

Inside, on page 6, and Venables is in his den” – also known as a prison cell in a supermax jail – “strumming” Oasis hits.

The language is skilful and designed to solicit outrage.

The guitar is “acoustic”. He gets a weekly visit from a guitar teacher, we learn. A source tells us:

“He quite often knocks out a version of Wonderwall.”

Venables plays the Oasis hit in his cell? Something you’d think makes him seem more human than not?
