BABY P’S MOTHER IS LET OUT OF JAIL
Bid to prevent sicko’s release fails
BABY P’s evil mum Tracey Connelly has been released from prison.
Twisted Connelly, 40, was first jailed in 2009 for a minimum of five years after admitting causing or allowing the death of her 17-month-old son Peter.
The toddler was found to have suffered more than 50 horrifying injuries in the eight months before he died.
Connelly was released from prison in 2013 but recalled in 2015 after breaching the terms of her licence.
This week she was freed again after a judge blocked Justice Secretary Dominic Raab’s attempt to stop her release.
Insiders at Low Newton prison near Durham claim she was advised to “lose weight and dye her hair” to disguise her appearance.
But a fellow inmate claimed she “looked just the same but a bit fatter” when she was released this week and driven to her probation hostel on the prison bus.
Inmates were said to be happy to see the back of her.
A source said: “She just walks about singing and dancing.
“They were all fed up with it, even the prison officers. One of the inmates said to her, ‘What have you got to sing and dance about? You killed your kid!’”
In March the Parole Board announced Connelly had been cleared for release due to a low risk of reoffending. She will be subject to 20 licence conditions, including having to wear an electronic tag and disclosing all relationships.
Her son was on the at-risk register and had 60 visits from social workers, police officers and health professionals in the eight months before his death.
His injuries included a fractured shinbone, head damage and cigarette burns to his fingers and toes as well as a broken back.
A series of reviews identified missed opportunities for officials to save him.
Connelly’s lover Steven Barker was jailed in 2009 for a minimum of 32 years for torturing the tot to death at his home in Tottenham, North London.
His brother, Jason Owen, received a six-year jail sentence for allowing the toddler to die.
Dominic Raab said: “Tracey Connelly’s cruelty was pure evil, which is why I strongly opposed her release.”
