Jason Owen, 37, was given an indeterminate term for public protection, with a minimum term of three years, in May.

But judges at the Court of Appeal in London allowed his appeal against the indefinite term of imprisonment, and replaced it with a sentence of six years imprisonment.

Owen, of Bromley, Kent, was jailed along with Baby Peter's mother Tracey Connelly, 28,and her boyfriend Steven Barker, 33, for causing or allowing the death of the 17-month-old.

Peter Connelly died in Haringey, north London, in August 2007. He had more than 50 injuries, including fractured ribs and a broken back, when his body was discovered.
