Baby P's stepfather refused parole for fifth time
Briefly

The Parole Board determined that Steven Barker, who caused the death of Baby P and was later convicted for rape, is not safe for release after multiple reviews.
Barker's continued denial of his crimes and lack of participation in rehabilitative programs led the Parole Board to conclude that he poses an ongoing risk of reoffending.
Following the tragic death of Peter Connelly, Barker is serving a lengthy sentence, having spent an additional seven years in prison beyond his minimum term due to persistent safety concerns.
Barker's issues with drug use and unhealthy relationships at the time of his crimes were noted by the Parole Board, highlighting the need for significant personal reform.
