GUILTY UK - Arthur Labinjo Hughes, 6, killed, dad & friend arrested, June 2020 #3

[everybodhi]

I do think that TH is guilty as sin. But I also think that ET was getting away with a lot of abuse behind his back. I don't think he knew the full extent of it because she would blame it on Arthur having "thrown himself around" and up walls etc. etc. (I still don't know what she means by that, it's weird terminology.) She was telling TH a lot of lies including "he copped me in the stomach" shortly after she had assaulted Arther for the final time. If you watch the footage of him putting his bedding away and how weak he was that morning, he was clearly incapable of "copping" anyone or anything. She used the "he copped me in the stomach" line to wind up TH because she was pregnant and she knew that if she mentioned Arthur was threatening the unborn baby, he would get beaten. I think she constantly fabricated Arthur's transgressions so that he would be beaten. She is evil, cruel and malicious.

They encouraged each other.
“End him”, he said.
“Take him out with the rubbish”.

What Is the Minimum and Maximum Manslaughter Sentence in the UK? | Lawtons

What is the average sentence for manslaughter in the UK?
Depending on the severity of the offence – and if it is classified as a voluntary or involuntary act – the maximum sentence for manslaughter in the UK is life imprisonment. However, the judge may impose a lesser sentence, including:

• A prison sentence – typically ranging between 2 and 10 years
• A suspended term of imprisonment (the sentence can be suspended for up to two years and the offender is given the chance to comply with up to 12 requirements set by the court)
• Community service

If he gets Community service I think we can just all pack it in.

I think both will get life sentences - her for at least 30+ years (due to the sadism), and him 20+ years. I can't see the judge being lenient on him at all.

Manslaughter sentences are usually disappointing. I think it's disgusting how little time people get in these types of cases. Like this one for example:
Couple who killed young Kaylee-Jayde locked up for combined 29 years

Well done to the jury! They had such a difficult job to do but I think they came to the right conclusions. I'm so pleased Arthur has got the justice he deserves, now hopefully little man can RIP beautiful xx

In general in the UK we have far to lenient sentences, it's pathetic. Especially they did this to a defenceless child.

I wouldn't like to print what I think of him.

 

[Dotta]

Her eyes, she looks evil

Notice that none of them look straight into the camera.
He looks up.
She looks down.

It is significant.

 

[89leanne89]

She has the most evil eyes. Also confirmed by the DM that she took an overdose last week and poor Arthur still isn't laid to rest

Let's hope the social workers who visited Arthur that day never work for ss again !

They should go on trial

'His superpower was his smile' - Mum of tragic Arthur in statement from prison

 

[Tortoise]

Arthur's maternal grandmother, Madeleine Halcrow, told MailOnline that her grandson's body remains in the mortuary of Leicester Royal Infirmary, where the post-mortem was carried out 16-months ago, due to a legal dispute over who has the right to lay him to rest.

Her family want to bury him in a small quiet funeral in a churchyard in Birmingham while the Hughes family have a plot for him elsewhere and want to take charge of the service.

Ms Halcrow confirmed she had sought legal advice with a firm of solicitors and added: 'I hope that we can reach some sort of agreement with the Hughes family – for Arthur's sake.

'But for the time being it doesn't look that way and it's looking increasingly likely the matter of will be able to lay him to rest will go to court.'

---

His maternal grandmother Madeleine Halcrow told MailOnline: 'Arthur was let down by social services and the West Midlands Police. There was an opportunity to save him and it wasn't taken.'

The boy's family squarely blame Solihull Council's children's services, which failed to grasp a series of chances to stop Arthur's 'unimaginable' torture before he was murdered with 130 separate injuries.

Arthur's grandmother, Joanne Hughes, told the trial how she felt there was 'no one else to go to' after repeatedly raising her concerns with the authorities, while his uncle, Daniel, was even threatened with arrest over lockdown rules if he went back to the youngster's house to check up on him.

--

Arthur Labinjo-Hughes's stepmother's trial was halted for several days after she took an overdose and was rushed to hospital.

Emma Tustin, 32, swallowed several painkillers she had apparently hidden in her bra. She was taken from her cell at Coventry Crown Court last Monday afternoon and taken to hospital, where she remained until last Thursday.

A source told MailOnline: 'The case was held up for three days because Tustin was rushed to hospital after overdosing on pills. She swallowed a load of painkillers in one of the court cells during a lunch break last Monday. She'd earlier spent the morning in the dock alongside her co-accused as he gave evidence.

'She confessed to a member of her legal team about what she had done and an ambulance had to be called to take her to hospital. She was still conscious when she left the cell at Coventry Crown Court in the ambulance. It appears as though she may have been given pills by the prison over a number of days but rather than take them she'd been saving them up and hid them in her bra.'

16:53KEY EVENT
Key evidence of harrowing trial
The fly on the wall CCTV footage, the terrorising text messages and a capitulation in the witness box.

This was some of the key evidence in the murder trial.

Jurors sat through harrowing evidence - and killers Hughes and Tustin both took the stand.

The bullying dad never shed a tear - but Tustin cried and was challenged by the prosecutor: "Who are you crying for?"
