Evil dad and stepmum killed little Arthur Labinjo-Hughes after months of torture and abuse
AP, 4 DEC 2021.
Little Arthur
A cruel and vicious pair who abused and poisoned a six-year-old boy before killing him have been jailed.
Callous Emma Tustin refused to come to the dock and attend her own sentencing hearing on Friday.
At an emotional court hearing the boy's devastated mum revealed that the murder had 'destroyed' her life and that her heart had been broken.
Tustin, 32, was handed a life sentence and will serve a minimum of 29 years while Thomas Hughes, 29, was jailed for 21 years.
The pair had gone to trial after little Arthur Labinjo-Hughes suffered an "un-survivable" brain injury during lockdown in June 2020.
During the harrowing eight-week case at Coventry Crown Court, jurors heard Tustin carried out the fatal assault while she had sole care of Arthur.
She was said to have fetched her mobile phone immediately afterwards to take a photograph of the youngster as he lay dying in the hallway of her home in Solihull, West Midlands.
Tustin then took 12 minutes to call 999, instead first ringing Hughes, before lying to medics and later telling police that Arthur “fell and banged his head”.
Tustin was found guilty of murder and Hughes of manslaughter.
She had already admitted two counts of child cruelty during the trial, including carrying out three assaults on the boy and also making him sit or stand in her hallway for up to 14 hours a day as part of a behavioural regime.
R.I.P. Arthur
