Tracey Connelly – the mother of Baby P – is to be released from prison.
Connelly was jailed indefinitely with a minimum of five years in May 2009 for causing or allowing her son Peter’s death. The Parole Board has recommended her release from prison following a second review of her case.
A statement from the Parole Board said: “We can confirm that a three-member panel of the board has directed the release of Tracey Connelly.
“Tracey Connelly first became eligible for parole in August 2012, and at that time a Parole Board panel made no recommendation to release.
“This is the second parole review for Tracey Connelly. The decision to release is a matter for the board, which is independent – arrangements and the date of the release are a matter for the Secretary of State.”
