UK - Arthur Labinjo Hughes, 6, killed, dad & friend arrested, June 2020 #2

Arthur is out of it now, but I feel so sorry for the people who loved him and were helpless, his mother too.

Aw god, caused by his own father. I wonder was the limping caused by the pressure pointing of his legs

I just presumed the limping was due to the standing for 14 hours a day straight. I know my legs would ache like crazy when I worked in a bar and that was 8 hours with two 2o minute breaks.

Yeah thats true, his legs must have been in a terrible way from all the standing. ET constantly at him to stand up straight and not lean on things adding to it

Im simply lost for words which rarely happens to me

It was a mad house with mad people living there.

Could also be that, sleeping on a carpet with no underlay on concrete would definitely hurt. Plus he's no fat padding to cushion it

 

[ScottishSam]

Plus, sleeping on concrete is cold. His body would have been burning energy to keep him warm. Using calories and fat reserves he didn't have

 

[ScottishSam]

So not only is he being salt poisoned, starved, denied water, beaten, mentally and physically abused. He's also not sleeping properly at night, and then being forced to stand for hours on end all day. He would have been utterly exhausted. His body would probably have started to burn non essential organs for fuel.

 

[Tinksx]

Yeah thats true, his legs must have been in a terrible way from all the standing. ET constantly at him to stand up straight and not lean on things adding to it

There was just no respite for him whatsoever. Standing for 14 hours a day, no water, salt laced food, sleeping on a concrete floor and verbally and physically abused in between. Not once did he get a break from any of it, nor shown any love. The most loving thing he experienced in his last days, was a random man giving him a glass of water.

I think an adult would have broken long before Arthur did. And he would have known his treatment was unfair and different to the other children, according to the paediatric doctor.

Exactly.
I hope the Prosecution will sum it up forcefully in closing speech.

 

[Carroll520]

And then thinking no one loved him on top of that. Oh god

Though that revolting pressure pointing would do that too. If you have a really bad cramp, especially in your calf muscles, the muscle can be sore for days.

It's horrific to know we're talking about the treatment of a 6 year old. It's utterly incomprehensible

 

[Carroll520]

It is shocking right to the very core of your being. I hope he knows now how many people are thinking and caring about him

 

[Tinksx]

I will never understand, what on earth a 6 year old could do, that would be deemed so “bad”, that it warranted this treatment? Any child for that matter. I really do not get it. I think I was kind of reading this and still not quite allowing myself to accept the true horror of it? Until I saw Arthur, living and breathing. That’s when it hit me. That boy was a shell of a child, he was destroyed and utterly broken. To see him in that state, still determined to get that quilt away, still soldiering on through obvious pain, to know they both saw that too…I cannot put it into words. I feel more than contempt for them!

 

[ScottishSam]

Arthur is out of it now, but I feel so sorry for the people who loved him and were helpless, his mother too.

I feel sorry for his mum too. It must be awful to listen to and see the abuse her son suffered

100% this.

Thats it exactly, for us to see how weak and in pain he was in a 2 minute clip and to know they saw that every day, they caused that and then continued with their torture of him verbally and physically, i think they are just not of this world, they are evil through and through

 

[Carroll520]

Yes she has crossed my mind too. Must be heartwrenching for her. I wonder will more come out about her after the trial. I hope what ET said about her wasnt true

 

[JayWill]

Yes, regardless of what she did to an adult man.
