Mother of Baby P Tracey Connelly to be RELEASED from prison after government loses legal challenge

The mother of Baby P, who died after suffering dozens of injuries at the hands of her partner and his brother, is to be released from prison. Tracey Connelly was jailed in 2009 for causing or allowing the 17-month-old's death at her north London home on August 3, 2007.

A judge has today (May 5) given the green light for Connelly to be released after a Government challenge was rejected by the Parole Board. It was the fourth review made by the Parole Board about her release, the Mirror reports.

Little Peter, who was known as Baby P, had suffered over 50 injuries over an eight-month period. They were caused by Connelly's partner, Steven Barker, and his paedophile brother Jason Owen.
