SOURCE – An alcoholic mother of eight, who starved her four-year-old son to death and left his mummified body in a cot for two years, has been jailed for fifteen years.

Amanda Hutton,  43, was found guilty of the manslaughter of Hamzah Khan at Bradford Crown Court yesterday.

She was sentenced today for manslaughter, child neglect and preventing the burial of her dead son’s body.

Hamzah’s body was found in a cot in Hutton’s Bradford bedroom in September 2011, amid scenes of utter squalor. Five other school-age children were found amid the debris.

The court heard that the four-year-old died in December 2009 due to malnutrition as a result of his mother’s alcoholism and neglect.
