’Wicked’ British mother gets 15 years over ’mummified’ son
A British mother who starved her four-year-old son to death -- and whose body was discovered two years later in a mummified state in his cot -- was jailed for 15 years on Friday. 英國一名母親讓4歲兒子挨餓至死,兒子的屍體2年後在他的嬰兒床上被發現時,已經呈木乃伊化狀態。母親週五被判刑15年。
Amanda Hutton, a 43-year-old alcoholic, was told her conduct had been "wicked" as she was sentenced at Bradford Crown Court in northern England for the manslaughter of her son, Hamzah. 43歲的酒鬼亞曼達.胡頓,在北英格蘭布萊佛皇家法院因為殺害兒子哈姆札被判刑時,被告知她的行為「邪惡」。
The court had heard that Hamzah’s decomposed and insect-infested body was found in a cot in the squalor of Hutton’s bedroom almost two years after he died in December 2009. 法院聆訊時說,哈姆札2009年12月死亡,將近2年後他那嚴重腐爛、被昆蟲叮咬的屍體,才在胡頓亂成一團的臥室裡的嬰兒床上被發現。
Photographs of the house showed clothes and waste piled up in several rooms. 房子的照片顯示,衣物與垃圾堆滿好幾個房間。
Police also found five of Hamzah’s siblings, aged between five and 13, living among the knee-deep pizza boxes, used nappies, vodka bottles and cat faeces. 警方也發現,年齡分別在5到13歲之間的5名哈姆札手足,生活在堆到膝蓋高的披薩盒、箱子、用過的尿布、伏特加瓶與貓糞之間。
