Baby P's mum Tracey Connelly confronted by angry local people

The evil killer mother of tragic tot Baby P was forced to flee a pound shop after she was confronted by angry local people. Tracey ­Connelly is now “too scared” to leave her bail hostel after the incident, a source told The Star.

Connelly, 40, who became notorious when she was jailed in 2009 for causing or allowing the death of her 17-month-old son Peter in Tottenham, north London, was ­released from Durham 's HMP Low Newton last month. She has been wearing a facemask to ­disguise herself, but her distinctive looks make her easily recognisable to people living in the undisclosed town.

The source said: “Every time she goes out, she’s recognised because she’s notorious for what she did, and locals are aware she is in the town. Now she’s spending most of her time in the hostel ­because last month she was in one of the town’s pound shops and two women started having a go at her, telling her she was a disgrace and that she should still be in jail. She got out of the place quickly but is now scared that someone could well attack her physically next time.”
