Little Arthur Labinjo-Hughes suffered 'a bruise for every day of lockdown' at the hands of his cruel dad and step-mum, a prosecutor said.
The six-year-old was murdered at his home in Solihull in June 2020, with doctors later discovering more than 130 bruises on his body.
His step-mother Emma Tustin, 32, was found guilty of murder on Thursday, while his father Thomas Hughes, 29, was found guilty of manslaughter.
During a harrowing eight-week trial, jurors at Coventry Crown Court heard how the pair had subjected the child to months of abuse, likened to 'torture', before his death.
