Arthur Labinjo-Hughes: Boy cried 'no-one loves me' before death
bbc.com ^ | November 25, 2021 | BBC

Audio recordings of a six-year-old boy crying "no-one loves me" and "no-one's gonna feed me" before his death have been released by police.

The recordings have been played at the trial of his father Thomas Hughes and partner Emma Tustin who both deny murdering him.

Arthur Labinjo-Hughes died of a brain injury on 17 June, 2020.

He collapsed while alone with Ms Tustin at her home in Solihull, West Midlands, the jury heard.

Prosecutors have told Coventry Crown Court that Arthur suffered a "campaign of cruelty", amounting to "torture".

Mr Hughes, 29, and Ms Tustin face multiple counts of child cruelty, after it was alleged the boy was force-fed salt-laced meals, kept isolated in the home, starved, dehydrated and routinely beaten.

Ms Tustin, 32, has said his head injury was self-inflicted, possibly by throwing himself down the staircase in her hallway where he had to spend "12 to 14 hours a day" as part of the couple's behavioural regime.

Ms Tustin has accepted recording more than 200 audio files of Arthur while he was being punished, telling the court they were to show her partner how his son was behaving.

I can only assume the man, who is the father of the boy, wanted to hurt the mother as badly as he could.

Hopefully they both get prison for ever. Hopefully the prisoners will learn what they did.

Good Lord. God bless that poor child’s soul.

Can’t speak for anybody else, but doubt I will sleep well tonight.

It’s England. These creatures will probably receive parenting classes, estate housing and a monthly stipend. They deserve what they gave that poor little boy.

That’s terrible. I sure don’t want to hear that recording.
Just reading about it is bad enough.
I don’t understand that level of evil.

I don't want to hear that recording either. It is so horrible to think about, especially today being Thanksgiving. There is not any FReeper who wouldn't have done anything to protect and save that child.

God decreed a protective instinct deep within all of us. Those who disobey God's will and harm the little ones are going to experience the millstone in the Lake of Fire.

Sweet baby. I am so sorry this happened to you.

Why don’t wicked parents put their kids up for adoption rather than torture them?

Sweet Jesus.

200 audio files? She got some kind of perverse pleasure out of what she did. There’s no other reason to record abuse when you KNOW it could be used against you in court if found.

Two peas in a pod. This is the UK, so they’re going to get off light. They probably won’t spend more than a year in minimum security.

And people criticize our system as too harsh. I’d argue it’s still not harsh enough.

Apparently the Grandmother tried to get CPS involved but they said his bruises were just "child's play".

When CPS officer saw the pictures in court she was just "shocked" at what she had over looked.

The grandmother was also told that if she tried to go see her grandson again she would be arrested for "violating lock down rules".

So, stupid hysteria over the “the mysterious virus of unknown origin” claims another innocent life.

But just keep complying people.

It is for the best.

Eh?

Regiment - subdivision of army

Regimen - procedure, process

Regime - reign, administration

I had very nice Thanksgiving dinner. I read this and threw up! I just cannot take this type of BS! I’ll pray for the soul of this little guy as he is received by the Lord
