Baby P's mother, Tracey Connelly, is to be freed from prison on the order of the Parole Board.

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 following a second review of her case.

A statement from the 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."

Baby Peter died on August 3, 2007, aged 17 months with more than 50 injuries.

This was despite being on the at-risk register and receiving 60 visits from social workers, police and health professionals over eight months.

Connelly admitted the offence soon after being charged and served several hundred days on remand

It is thought she is currently being held at Low Newton jail near Durham.

Connelly was given a so-called imprisonment for public protection (IPP) sentence, which carries a minimum term.

An IPP sentence prisoner is eligible to be considered for release by the Parole Board when the minimum term is served.

When making its decision, the Parole Board takes into account a variety of matters including the nature of the offence, the prisoner's offending history and their behaviour in prison.

Reports from psychologists, probation officers and prison officers are also taken into consideration

Connelly will remain on licence for the rest of her life and would likely be recalled to custody if she breaches any of the conditions.

Her son died at his home in Tottenham, north London, a day after police told Connelly she would not be prosecuted for abusing him.

Connelly was jailed along with her boyfriend Steven Barker and his brother Jason Owen, who were convicted of the same offence.

Barker was sentenced to life with a minimum of 10 years for raping a two-year-old girl and given a 12-year term to run concurrently for his "major role" in Peter's death.

Owen was jailed indefinitely with a minimum three-year term but later won an appeal to lower it to a fixed six-year term.

He was freed in August 2011 but was then recalled to prison again in April this year

Why didn't they send that horrible lady to life

[Cherie]

It seems extremely early to release her but apparently it comes down to the risk she poses to the public, I would have thought if she has another child she would pose a risk to him/her.

..I'm sure they just said on the BBC that she was going to be released today...

[thesheriff443]

we live in a sick world!
bullet to the head is what this sick bitch needs.

[Nedusa]

Apparently she now weighs 22 Stone and looks nothing like the mugshot shown on the news. she will be re-housed in a different area all at taxpayers expense.

But what does life hold for her now......?? a social leper an outcast, haunted by the memories of her past actions......living on benefits and now health problems exacerbated by her obesity.

I think the previous poster had the right idea. a bullet to the head......clean, quick and far more cost effective !!!

Yes I know! the explanation of her early release is as I posted down to the risk she poses. Makes no sense to me.

Absolutely......a condition of her release should be sterilisation but that would never happen as it goes against HER human rights.......although she didn't think about Peter's THis world make me so mad at times

I'm honestly not a vindictive person, but I hope she gets the living **** kicked out of her, leaving her with over 50 injuries!

I know. It's just crazy.

[Vanessa]

She should have got a life sentence.

[smudgie]

Mothers who do not protect their children and allow them to be beaten to death should be sterilised. It should be part of any parole deal.
Surely that is just common sense.

It is unbelievable... So my guess is little Hamzas mother will be out in 3.
The fact his father and adult brother were freed with suspended sentences only is unbelievable.
