Arthur died after being left with an ‘unrecoverable’ brain injury and 130 wounds on his body while in Tustin’s care.
Likewise, Tustin tortured him in her Solihull home, giving him salt poisoning and depriving him of food and drink.
Just hours before fatally attacking the child, she poisoned him with a “substantial” amount of salt. She had also been adding smaller quantities of salt to his meals for some time.
“He had been poisoned with so much salt that the levels of sodium in his blood could not be adequately and reliably detected by properly calibrated hospital equipment,” Mr. Justice Wall stated of Arthur in his sentencing remarks.
Tustin’s defense claimed in court that while she was on remand awaiting trial, detainees threw salt at her and threatened her.
