The mother of Baby P, who died after months of abuse, could be freed from prison after the Parole Board decided she should be released.
Tracey Connelly was jailed at the Old Bailey in 2009 for causing or allowing the death of her 17-month-old son Peter at their home in Tottenham, north London, in 2007.Connelly admitted the offence and was jailed for a minimum of five years.
The Parole Board considered her case for a third time in 2019 following previous reviews in 2015 and 2017, and refused to either release her or move her to an open prison. "Parole reviews are undertaken thoroughly and with extreme care. Protecting the public is our number one priority."Peter Connelly died on 3 August 2007 at the hands of his mother as well as her boyfriend, Steven Barker, and their lodger Jason Owen.
Peter suffered more than 50 injuries despite being on the at-risk register and receiving 60 visits from social workers, police and health professionals over the final eight months of his life.
