A COURT has granted the father convicted of murdering his baby son indirect visiting rights to his daughter.

This means Paul Oldacre, 29, is allowed to receive a picture of his four-year-old daughter Savannah once a year and will be allowed to send her one Christmas and one birthday card.

But the threat of Mr Oldacre coming back into her daughter's life still haunts his estranged wife Sharon, 26, because a court hearing in March will decide if he is allowed direct visitation rights.

Mr Oldacre murdered his seven month old son Jamie in Septem-ber 1999.

It will now be Mr Oldacre's decision if he wants to re-apply for legal aid and request direct contact at the March hearing.

That would mean Savannah visiting him in jail and Mr Oldacre seeing her when he is eventually freed from Wakefield Prison, where he is serving a life sentence.

After yesterday's court hearing, Mrs Oldacre, of Walcot, said: "I am pleased that he has not got any direct contact and I am pleased that the indirect contact he has is minimal.

"He wanted to see school reports and I do not want him to know what school she attends.

"At the moment I'm happy that he won't see my daughter but nervous he could still push for it."

Mrs Oldacre claimed that she has received letters from her estranged husband's fellow prisoners on Rule 46, the category for child killers, paedophiles and sex offenders.

She has said she fears for Savannah's safety because she does not know who has her address.

She still feels that Mr Oldacre should never see their daughter again because he will always be a danger.

She said: "He lost all of his rights to see my daughter the moment he laid his hand on my son.

"I feel that someone like that should never be allowed anywhere near my daughter.

"Savannah knows that Jamie is in heaven and she knows daddy did a bad thing and has gone away, but does not know the two are linked."
