Keli Lane: Baby killer is thrown back into Silverwater Prison after being caught breaking key condition while on day release
- Lane broke a rule why on the day of release
- She was supposed to be granted early release
Convicted baby killer Keli Lane has been returned to a maximum security prison after getting into trouble while on release.
The 48-year-old who was found guilty of murdering her infant daughter in 2010 is now back in Silverwater women’s prison in Sydney’s south after being investigated over allegations of inappropriate behavior in a workplace.
The incident could affect her parole, as Lane is close to serving her minimum sentence of more than 13 and a half years behind bars.

Lane had been transferred to a transition center in Sydney’s northwest in August last year as she neared the end of her non-parole period.
She was sentenced to prison in the NSW Supreme Court for the murder of her daughter Tegan after the girl died just two days after being born at Auburn Hospital in 1996.
Lane was sentenced to 18 years in prison with a non-parole period of 13 years and five months.
She has always denied killing Tegan.
Lane (pictured) was sentenced to 18 years in prison for murdering her daughter Tegan just two days after she was born in 1996.
She claimed that she handed her daughter over to a man named Allan Morris or Norris, who was believed to be Tegan’s father, at a wedding just hours after Lane was discharged from hospital.
The man never came forward. Authorities never found the man and Tegan’s body was never found.
She was seen for the first time in years at a milk processing plant after taking a full-time job producing dairy products for people in prison in NSW.
Lane was on course to be released as she worked in the community in recent months before she was caught using a phone last week.
More to come.
