The six-year-old was tortured, poisoned, starved and murdered by his stepmother Emma Tustin, 32, and father Thomas Hughes, 29, after social services found “no safeguarding concerns.”
Tustin was sentenced for 29 years for murder and child cruelty and Hughes was jailed for 21 years for manslaughter after encouraging the killing of his son.
