The evil mum of tragic tot Baby P has been refused a new identity when she is released from jail, with reports that she has instead been told to "lose weight" and dye her hair.
Baby P's mum Tracey Connelly, whose weight is said to have increased to nearly 20 stone, has also been informed that she will be freed from prison without police protection.
Hull Live reports that a prison source said: “Tracey was fuming when she heard the news. It is very rare to give prisoners a new identity. The bar is extremely high and she did not cross that threshold.
“Tracey did not qualify in 2013 and was told nothing had changed.
“The prison officers managing her release have told her the best thing she could do to avoid attention would be to change her appearance by drastically losing weight and dyeing her hair.
“But she’s still a pretty big woman so a huge weight loss is not likely over the coming weeks.”
The Parole Board recently ruled she was not a danger to the public, and despite attempts by Justice Secretary Dominic Raab to block her release, she will soon be released from HMP Low Newton, County Durham, after being locked up in 2009 for causing or allowing the death of her son Peter - a tragedy that rocked the country.
Her partner at the time Steven Barker, and his brother Jason Owen were also convicted of the charge.
After it was announced that she was set to be released, Mr Raab called for a "fundamental overhaul" of the Parole Board. He described Connelly as "pure evil".
Mr Raab said: "The decision to release her demonstrates why the parole board needs a fundamental overhaul, including a ministerial check for the most serious offenders, so that it serves and protects the public."
She is expected to be sent to a bail hostel that houses high-risk female offenders.
