UK’s Prime Minister Boris Johnson has introduced the ‘Arthur’s Law’ under which all child killers will be sentenced to life in prison.
The law which has been named against the innocent 6-year-old who passed away after his own stepmother and father inflicted torture and abuse of the worst kind is all set to take effect immediately. And that means child killers will now be given harsher sentences, forcing them to die behind bars.
The Prime Minister claims that the new and tougher jail conditions will be brought against those who commit such evil crimes as there is no tolerance or excuse for such behavior.
Speaking to The Sun recently, he stated, “Anyone who plans then carries out such a murder of a child should never be given freedom from jail.” For that reason, Mr. Johnson vowed to put forward a series of tougher laws that makes whole life orders the beginning for such horrifying crimes.
In the same way, the Prime Minister spoke about how he plans on bringing forward a swift review regarding the toughening up of all lenient sentences that will be handed over to Arthur’s killer stepmom and dad.
Emma Tustin was initially given 29 years in jail time which many felt was not enough for the sort of heinous crimes that she was guilty of. In the same way, Arthur’s father, Thomas Hughes, was given a jail sentence of 21 years after being charged with manslaughter.
The evil duo carried out horrendous pain and suffering on little Arthur who was fed salt-laced meals, isolated from others, beaten, starved, and even pounded against hard surfaces until he passed away tragically.
Recent pictures of the vile couple were released where they could be seen smiling in a hot tub as the young child stood silently in the hallway for hours too.
The new law is being supported for obvious reasons which many feel is a positive step in the right direction.
