Baby P's Mother Tracey Connelly Recalled to Prison for License Breach
  • Connelly was sentenced to a minimum five-year term in 2008 after pleading guilty to her role in Peter's death.

  • Connelly, along with her partner Steven Barker and his brother Jason Owen, was convicted for their roles in Peter's death, which drew widespread criticism of Haringey Council's child protection services.

  • The recall was authorized by Justice Secretary Shabana Mahmood, emphasizing the government's commitment to enforcing strict conditions for offenders.

  • Connelly will have to appear before the Parole Board again within two years to be considered for re-release.

  • Despite ongoing public concern regarding her actions, the specific reasons for Connelly's latest recall to prison remain undisclosed.

  • Connelly was originally jailed in 2009 for causing or allowing the death of her 17-month-old son, Peter, who suffered horrific injuries while in her care.

  • The case of Baby P highlighted severe failures in child protection services, as he had been visited by social services 60 times before his death.

  • Tracey Connelly, the mother of Baby P, has been recalled to prison for breaching her license conditions just two years after her release.

  • The specific nature of her license breach has not been disclosed, but it marks her second recall since her initial release.

  • Connelly was released from prison in July 2022 under strict conditions, including wearing an electronic tag and adhering to a curfew.

  • Previously, she faced legal issues for selling nude photos online while on release, which cost over £500,000 in public legal aid during her trial.

  • Baby P's father expressed relief at Connelly's return to prison, stating he was 'happy' she would be incarcerated again.
