British Attorney General Dominic Raab condemned the decision.

A mother accused in the death of her 17-month-old son in England could be released from prison weeks after the British Parole Board ruled in her favour.

Tracey Connolly was arrested in 2009 after admitting to causing or allowing the death of her son Peter at her home in Tottenham, north London, in 2007.

Known as Baby P in the UK, the boy suffered more than 50 injuries before he died.

British Attorney General Dominic Raab denounced the Council’s decision on parole for Connolly and said the body needed a “review”.

Asking the Parole Board to reconsider the March decision, Raab described Connelly’s actions, now 40, as “utterly diabolical.”

“The decision to release him shows why the parole board needs a fundamental overhaul to serve and protect the public, including a ministerial check for the most serious offenders,” he said.

The Parole Board’s review of Connelly’s case was completed in March. It is the fourth time the court has reviewed the British woman’s sentence since her arrest in 2009.

He had already earned the right to be released from prison on parole in 2013, but was arrested again in 2015 for violating the terms of his sentence.

The Parole Board also reconsidered his case in 2015, 2017, and 2019, but refused to release him or transfer him to open custody.

Following the council’s final decision to parole Connely, Dominic Raab asked the agency to reconsider its decision.

‘Original decision is preserved’

However, the council reconfirmed its deliberation and decided to keep the original decision.

“At the Secretary of State’s request for reconsideration, a judge ruled that the decision taken by independent members of the parole board was not unreasonable, as stated in the request for reconsideration. The decision stands,” a spokesperson for the Parole Board said in a statement.

Upon leaving prison, Connelly will be subject to restrictions on movement, activities and contacts with certain individuals. She also got a list of 20 extra conditions she must comply with.

These include obligations such as living at a certain address, using an electronic tracking chip, complying with the curfew, and reporting all your personal relationships to the court.

Your internet and phone usage will also be monitored. He was told that he was unable to go to certain places to “avoid contact with victims and protect children”.

case

Baby Peter died on August 3, 2007, while in the care of her mother, as well as her boyfriend Steven Barker and their tenant, Jason Owen, who is Barker’s brother.

In addition to Connelly, Barker was sentenced to at least 10 years in prison for raping a two-year-old girl. She was sentenced to 12 years in prison for the second time for her role in Peter’s death.

Owen was sentenced to an indefinite term with a minimum of three years in prison, later increased to a fixed term of six years.

In the last eight months of his life, Peter was visited 60 times by social workers, police and health professionals for complaints about caring for his family. Connelly was arrested twice in 2006 and 2007 after bruises were found on the baby’s face and body.

The British government had classified the baby’s condition as at risk.

A series of post-mortem analyzes found that authorities missed out on many opportunities to save the boy’s life if they acted right after many warning signs.
