Amanda Hutton Sentenced To 15 Years In Prison For Starving Her 4 year Old Son to Death

 Amanda Hutton , an alcoholic, was found guilty of the manslaughter of Hamzah Khan by a jury at Bradford Crown Court yesterday, consequently, she was sentenced to 15 years in prison

Amanda Hutton was arraigned in court for starving to death her four-year-old son,Hamzah Khan and also prevented the burial of his body and neglecting five of her other children.

Hamzah's decomposed and insect-infested body was discovered in a travel cot in Hutton's bedroom at their home in September 2011.

Police found Hamzah's remains amid scenes of utter squalor, which the judge described as 

 

                                         "a terrible Pandora's box".

 

They also found five of his siblings, aged between five and 13, living among pizza boxes, used nappies, vodka bottles and cat faeces.
Seasoned officers described being overcome by emotion as they witnessed one child in the house rummaging among rotting rubbish in a bedroom for items before they took the youngster away.

Other officers talked of rotten food and an almost unbearable smell in the four-bed terraced house.
Neighbours have spoken of their amazement when children they had never seen before emerged from the property on the day the police arrived.

According to RTE news, a serious case review into Hamzah's death has been conducted by the Bradford Safeguarding Children Board (BSCB), which will be published later this year.
