The Case of Baby P

The Misery Machine
About this episode

This week, Drewby and Yergy head to Tottenham, London, to discuss the case of Peter Connelly, known to the British media as Baby P. At just 17-months old, little Peter suffered some of the most unimaginable torture at the hands of his mother, her boyfriend, and her boyfriend's brother... horrors that would cost the young boy his life.
