Baby P’s mother set to be released from prison

The mother of Baby P, who died after months of abuse, could walk free from prison within weeks – after the Parole Board rejected a government challenge to keep her behind bars.

Tracey Connelly was jailed in 2009 over the death of her son Peter, who had suffered more than 50 injuries.

The Justice Secretary Dominic Raab described Connelly’s actions as pure evil.
