A man jailed for his part in the death of toddler ‘Baby P’ has been sent back to prison after breaching his bail conditions.

Jason Owen, from Bromley, Kent, was jailed in 2009 for causing or allowing the death of 17-month-old Peter Connelly.

A Ministry of Justice spokeswoman said: ‘Public protection is our priority. Offenders released on licence are subject to a strict set of conditions and controls.

‘If they fail to comply with their licence conditions, they are liable to be returned to custody.’

He was handed a six-year sentence after being convicted alongside his brother Steven Barker and Peter’s mother, Tracey Connelly.

The toddler suffered more than 50 injuries before his death on August 3, 2007, despite 60 visits in eight months from social workers, police and health professionals.

Mr Owen had been staying at the home of his brother in Tottenham, north London, where Peter died.


He was sentenced to serve a minimum term of three years for his part in the boy’s death before being released halfway through his jail term in August 2011.

The circumstances surrounding his recall to prison are unclear.
