LOST Boy: The Killing of James Bulger documentary has left viewers in tears after his mum Denise’s ‘heart-breaking’ new interview.
The two-year-old was led to his death in Bootle, Merseyside in 1993, by depraved Robert Thompson and Jon Venables in a story that shocked the nation.
The two 10-year-old’s kidnapped, tortured and sexually abused the tot and became the country’s youngest murderers in 250 years.
The Channel 5 documentary featured a new interview with James’ mum Denise Fergus, where she spoke about how much she had longed to become a mother before she had James.
Denise recalled how she had left the buggie at home for the first time and after doing a bit of shopping with James, she decided to head into a butchers to buy something for dinner.
As she let go of James’ hand to pay, she realised her son had disappeared.
She desperately searched the shopping centre, hoping to find the tot on one of the rides, but he was nowhere to be seen.
As it grew dark, Denise recalled how she “needed to get him back”, envisioning him cold and scared outside alone.
Tragically the reality of the situation was even more horrific, after police saw James being led away by the two older boys on CCTV from the shopping centre.
His body was then found hours later, shattering Denise’s world forever.
Viewers of the documentary were left in tear as they watched her relive the worst day of her life.
Taking to Twitter, one wrote: “There have been countless child murders over the years, but none makes me cry more than the murder of baby James Bulger.
“His mother, Denise Fergus’s pain still pierces your heart with the same depth as it did all those years ago. My heart breaks for her.”
Another added: “It’s only just started and already I’m in tears.”
A third tweeted: “# lostboy is so sad! Heartbreaking listening and watching anything about the # JamesBulger murder so God only knows how his family have dealt with this for all these years his mum always looks so broken.”
Meanwhile a fourth shared: “This story is beyond heartbreaking. It is every parents worst nightmare.”
