The details of the murder of a 6-year-old boy by his father and mother as they are transported to the courtroom in Birmingham, Great Britain, cause horror and disgust. The woman accused of killing her partner's six-year-old son allegedly called him a "devil's child" and sent a message to the boy's father saying "I want you but not him".
Emma Tustin, 32, referred to little Arthur with incredible expressions in messages she sent to her boyfriend Thomas Hughes, 29, weeks before the boy suffered fatal injuries. Arthur had tried to tell his family members that "no one loves me" and that "I will not eat today" shortly before he died.

They abused little Arthur for months
The couple is accused of "poisoning" the child with salt and making him endure months of abuse before killing him "by hitting his head on a hard surface".
They both deny that they killed Arthur, who collapsed at Tustin's home in Searley, UK on June 16 last year. He died at Birmingham Children's Hospital the next day after suffering severe brain damage.
The court said that Tustin sent several messages claiming that Arthur was "screaming", refusing to eat his food, demanding to go to his grandmother while saying that he had tried and attacked her. Tustin has pleaded guilty to child abuse, but denies further charges for the same offense. The father also denies the crimes he is accused of. The court heard another message she sent to her friend saying, "You are living with the devil's child." Other messages also referred to Hughes hitting Arthur as well as opening a hole in the door after being punched.
Arthur was under the full custody of Hughes after his mother, Olivia Lambino-Halcrow, was accused of killing her new partner, Gary Cunningham, in February 2019. He was jailed for 11 years in July this year after being found guilty of manslaughter. intention.
