Downstairs in the north London House of Horror is the living room -scene of the worst abuses inflicted on the tot by his vile stepdad. Against a wall facing a bay window is a blue sofa covered in crusty brown stains.

It is here the brute puffed on a cannabis joint as he held the baby face-up across his knees-and broke his fragile spine, with a sickening crack that echoed around the house. Nearby is the fireplace where Baby P was supposedly pushed by another child in April, 2007.
But that was just another lie told to the authorities to cover up his bruised head. The truth is Baby P was shoved into the hearth for his stepdad's warped amusement.
