BOY,FOUR'WHOSE PARENTS STARVED HIM TO DEATH(PICS)
Boy, four, 'whose parents starved him to death suffered incomprehensible cruelty and looked like concentration camp victim.'A boy of four looked like a 'concentration camp victim' after being locked in a 'cell' and starved to death by his parents, a court heard yesterday.Daniel Pelka was also allegedly force-fed salt as a punishment for taking food from the fridge during months of 'incomprehensible cruelty' at the hands of mother Magdelena Luczak and stepfather Marius Krezolek, the jury was told.The schoolboy, who was so hungry he took to stealing classmates' lunches and eating out of bins, died despite contact with a paediatrician and at least two home visits from school staff.
Dead: Daniel Pelka, whose physical condition was likened by a doctor to that of a concentration camp victim, was allegedly deliberately starved over several months, Birmingham Crown Court heard Jurors were told Daniel weighed just 1st 7lb when he was discovered by paramedics, 15lb below the average weight for a child of his age. Despite attempts to resuscitate him, he was pronounced dead in hospital on March 3 last year.Prosecutor Jonas Hankin QC said the state of the boy's tiny body had left even experts in child death shocked.He said: 'Daniel was subjected to acampaign of incomprehensible and escalating cruelty. His body was described as “shockingly thin” by doctors and an expert in child deaths said a lay person would compare it to a child starving in a concentration camp in the Second World War. When doctors tried to measure his BMI (body mass index) it was too low to be measured on the scale.'
