Baby P’s mum has now been released from prison, the Ministry of Justice has confirmed.
Tracy Connelly has been released after parole board judges refused a bid by Justice Secretary Dominic Raab to keep her locked up.
Raab has condemned the decision, saying that he thought it was proof the Parole Board needed a “fundamental overhaul”.
Tracey Connelly, now forty, was jailed indefinitely with a minimum term of five years in 2009 over the death of her seventeen-month-old son, who died after suffering more than fifty injuries following months of abuse.
When released, Connelly will reportedly have to undergo twenty-four-hour GPS tracking and provide the details of any people she becomes romantically involved with.
She will also be required to stay away from drugs and alcohol, as well as face frequent lie detector tests to prove she isn’t re-offending.
Connelly was initially released in 2013 on a lifelong licence, but was recalled to jail in 2015 after breaching its terms by selling nude photographs of herself on the internet.
Baby P was found dead in his home in north London on August 3rd 2007 with fifty injuries inflicted by Connelly, her partner Steven Barker and his brother Jason Owen.
His horrific injuries included a snapped spine and eight broken ribs.
Baby P died while being on the at-risk register, which saw him receive sixty visits from social workers, police and health professionals during the final eight months of his life.
