Key Events

An eight-week trial at Coventry Crown Court has been told Tustin carried out the fatal assault while having sole care of Arthur. She fled the scene and sparked a major police hunt before handing herself into detectives on October 19.

Prosecutors argued the pair carried out a “campaign of cruelty” amounting to “torture” against Arthur. It helps somewhat to read all the lovely comments people have written about him. He was loved by everyone that knew him." Police found Ms Doyle’s body at a flat on Shakespeare Street, Coventry, on January 20 last year.

Det Supt Shaun Edwards, overseeing the investigation, previously said: “We’re supporting the family of the man who has died at what is a truly awful time for them, and our thoughts go out to them. We’ve made some really good early progress in this investigation, but there is still a lot of work to be done in identifying all of those involved in what happened last night.He was rushed into the mosque for some sort of safety and sanctuary only for him to collapse inside the funeral area and breathe his final breaths. I speak on behalf of the mosque and local community who severely condemn this vile, despicable and callous act.

Hughes, of Stroud Road, Solihull, was accused of murder by allegedly encouraging the killing, including by sending a text message to Tustin 18 hours before the fatal assault telling her to “just end him”.Marlene's mother Gloria said: “Marlene’s life was taken by a partner with whom she shared a loving relationship with, but ultimately became toxic due to domestic violence issues including verbal and physical abuse towards her. She was accused of getting her mobile phone immediately afterwards to take a photograph of the youngster as he lay dying in the hallway of her home in Cranmore Road, Solihull. There can never be a sense of loyalty when someone has committed the most gruesome act of murder and they are now also rightly convicted criminals.
