A woman trolled the mum of murdered tot James Bulger – posting alongside a picture of her young relative: “The tracks are already calling his name.”
Chloe Cowan today admitted harassing Denise Fergus, the parent of the two-year-old who was horrifically killed in 1993.
The 20-year-old targeted Mrs Fergus on Twitter between January and June last year.
Under the username ‘SirJVenables’, she taunted: “Can’t wait til he’s a tot, the tracks are already calling his name.”
At Canterbury Crown Court, Cowan, of Chichester Road, Ramsgate, Kent, broke down in tears in the dock as she pleaded guilty to the charge.
Mrs Fergus had responded online, by posting: “Cant believe that some1 on here is still blamin me 4 my sons murder it took me a long time 2 stop blamin myself thanx 4 ruinin my evenin (sic).”
Denise and James Fergus
Cowan, of Ramsgate, Kent, was granted bail and ordered to stay away from Mrs Fergus.
A judge has indicated she may impose an interim Hospital Order under the Mental Health Act at the next hearing.
She had previously pleaded not guilty ‘by reason of insanity’ and a psychiatric report was ordered.
Judge Adele Williams is expected to impose an interim Hospital Order under the Mental Health Act at the next hearing.
James Bulger was abducted from The Strand shopping centre in Bootle , Merseyside, by Jon Venables and Robert Thompson.
His body was discovered on railway lines two days later.
Venables and Thompson, were freed in 2001, but in 2010, Venables was jailed for possessing child porn.
He was freed on parole in 2013 and given his fourth new identity since James’ murder.
Venables was given eight years for the murder, to be served at Red Bank Community Home in Merseyside, where doctors said he was reformed.
But it emerged he had a sexual relationship with his ‘housemother’ there.
