The “horrifying” death of Baby P should have been prevented by the professionals paid to save children from abuse, an inquiry found today.

Baby P’s ‘stepfather’ was jailed for life today after a campaign of abuse against the little boy and the rape of a two-year-old girl. The 32-year-old was given a life sentence with a minimum of ten years for the rape and a 12 year sentence for his part in Baby P’s death, which will run concurrently.

A COUPLE illegally recruited and exploited untrained immigrant workers who cared for vulnerable elderly people at two Worthing care homes, a court heard.

Three Haringey social workers who were fired following the death of Baby P are to appeal against their sackings, it emerged today.
