A father and his partner have been found guilty of the killing of six-year-old Arthur Labinjo-Hughes.
The boy was tortured by Thomas Hughes and Emma Tustin, eventually dying of a head injury while in the care of his stepmother.
Tustin shook him and banged his head on a hard surface after poisoning him with salt, the court heard.
At Coventry Crown Court, Tustin was convicted of murder and Hughes found guilty of manslaughter.
The pair were also convicted of child cruelty charges.

Not knowing the details of the case it makes it a touch harder to form an opinion on why Hughes got, a relative, slap on the wrist and not the same given this looks like a joint enterprise, and an evil one at that.

I think its that she contributed more to the injuries. She actually recorded much of it on her phone. A truly vile pair. They should never see the light of day again

This is like the British version of Gabriel Fernandez's case

Also adults under the age of forty are more likely to be murder by a parent than the other why round. Child abuse efforts adults over the age of eighteen it doesn't stop at eighteen it becomes adult abuse.

An appalling pair of sadists.
The evil scumbags tortured Arthur to death inflicting daily brutality, starvation and terror upon him for the last 18 months of his life.
RIP Arthur.

To be honest, with the treatment they are going to face inside at the hands of fellow inmates, I would want them to live as long as possible

I don't recommend watching it, but there's a video of the poor little boy crying out for attention and love. You can hear him say "Nobody loves me".
These two people, if you can even call them that, are the sickest, most evil I've come across. Selfish, narcissist, psychotic, cruel.

Once again, another example of the social sector not doing its job because as I’ve mentioned on here before they absolutely insist on keeping the children with the parents.

Under the present law of joint enterprise, egging the principal on, on its own, is not enough. The secondary party has to have the requisite intention themselves.The press have been quoting a single damning message from Hughes but that was part of a much larger text correspondence and I suspect the rest of the correspondence was more ambiguous.

I’ve seen the same. It’s heartbreaking.

This wasn't a case where the social workers excused poor parenting. They found nothing wrong with their care of Arthur, despite, it is said, plenty of red flags,

Arthur was only in the care of Tustin for three months and third party concerns only started after Tustin moved into Hughes' house in March 2020.

I think the jury were not sure beyond reasonable doubt that Hughes had an intention to kill or cause really serious injury.
