Baby Peter's GP Dr Jerome Ikwueke has been found guilty of a serious breach of professional duty, the General Medical Council has ruled.

Peter Connelly, from north London, died aged 17 months in August 2007 after sustained abuse.

Dr Ikwueke told the GMC he had agonised over whether he could have done more to help him.

Peter's mother, her boyfriend and his brother were jailed last year for causing or allowing his death.

The GMC panel ruled Dr Ikwueke was guilty of a series of failings.

It said the crucial appointment was on July 26 - eight days before his death.
