Mother Starved Her Son to Death and Mummified his Corpse for Two years


Amanda Hutton, 43, starved her 4-year-old son, Hamzah Khan to death and then lived with his mummified corpse in her bedroom for two years.

Hamzah died as a result of malnutrition, his growth had been so stunted that he was still wearing a baby-gro meant for an infant six to nine months old when he was found.

Within hours of his death, she ordered a pizza. She continued to claim child benefit in his name. Bradford Crown Court heard his mother went on with her life while his body decayed.
