Who is Michael Jonathan Peterson?

Michael Jonathan Peterson is the only known son of the UK's most violent prisoner Charles Bronson.

He was named after his father, who was then known as Michael Peterson.

He was born in 1972, the same year his parents, Bronson and Irene Dunroe married.

At the time Bronson was working as an industrial painter

In 2001, the Sunday Mirror reported that Irene's second husband Brian "treated Michael as his own".

Michael has so far never spoken publicly about his father.

Who is Michael Jonathan Peterson's mother Irene Dunroe?

Irene was Bronson's first wife.

The couple got together when they were just 19 years old.

Unlike the lag's second two wives, Irene was with the offender when he was using his birth name of Michael Peterson.

Irene still refers to her ex-husband as "Mick" and has spoken about how she will never know him as anything different.

Their relationship undoubtedly took a blow when Bronson was jailed for seven years in 1974.

As the 22-year-old served his time for armed robbery, she continued to visit him for two years.

Despite this, the pair divorced in 1977.

She spoke about her relationship with Bronson to the Sunday Mirror in 2001.

She said: "He stopped me wearing make-up, beads, anything that would beautify me.

"I remember buying a halter-neck dress. When Charlie saw it he cut it into tiny pieces.

"I was 20 but he wanted me to dress like a middle-aged woman.

"When we went out, if another man so much as looked at me he took me home immediately."

How many children does Charles Bronson have?

Bronson only has one child, Michael.

In 2018, George Bamby went on This Morning, claiming that he is the notorious criminal's son, revealing that a DNA test was 99.8 per cent positive match.

However, friends and supporters of Bronson said that Bamby is a "fraud", as reported by The Mirror.

Rod Harrison, the best man to Charles Bronson when he married Paula Williamson and the person who runs his Facebook group said that the prisoner only has one child, that is Michael Jonathan Peterson.

He said: "Charlie's comments on Bamby. So end of - Charlie says too many lies.

"A control freak - he will not be in touch with him again.

"As far as Charlie is concerned he's gone he's a liar, end of."

Where is Michael Jonathan Peterson now?

We do not really know anything about Michael Jonathan Peterson's whereabouts.

He keeps his life out of the spotlight and has never spoke to media.

In 2001, the Sunday Mirror said he was working as a chef.
