I've not seen a thread about this at all, apologies if there is one.
Xmas day, the body of a 15yr old boy was found in a bath, following a 999 call from a couple, both aged 27 claiming he'd drowned. He had been discovered with numerous injuries.
Four children from the flat have been taken into state care, two of them hospitalised.
The PM does not give any indication of the cause of death.
I'm surprised the case has not been discussed on here, and maybe because one of mine is 15 I care about this. However, it just seems something is very wrong. They're still waiting to confim the identity of the child from his family, weird.
Awful to think about it too much, but just wondering if others had followed the story and if I've missed anything?

It really does.
I'm wondering why this hasn't 'bothered' people.
I'd have at least expected something from DS, but nothing at all.
It's all been about that Bristol girl from what I've seen.
This is definitely thread worthy, just give people a chance to catch up.
Guess we will have to wait for more info on this before we can progress further.
If the couple were guilty of it they are pretty dumb phoning the police with todays forensics. No one will buy the "Oh he just happened to be taking a bath and drowned and also had multiple bruising".
A strange case indeed!
Their age would suggest that they're not the parents, as would the reluctance of the police to release an ID yet even though they know who he is.
Poor thing. x

Sorry to digress from asking anything depending on how much I've had to drink, or if indeed I've had anything to drink.
(Mods: Once upon a time, the chatter forum was created for a reason. These days I really see no difference.)
There has been a lack of any details so far in the press.
I'm wondering if the poor lad had been trafficked in, which is why he seems to be unknown to anyone.
Bit more about the charges.
Horrid, whatever the true crime turns out to be.
All those kids injured, one so far as he's dead? This one bugs me - sorry.
Whatever the events of that day, it's a tragedy for a young boy to go before his time.
Children are in protective care..post mortem has failed to find an exact cause of death..all a bit odd but am sure more will emerge in time..possibly more people involved in something so keeping details back at the moment..otherwise I dont know why details are so sketchy.
Lets hope the detained couple weren't involved with producing Child-Snuff Movies, which might explain the death, the injuries sustained by the other children, and the lack of an obvious relationship between the adults of the household and the other child occupants.
Just a theory nothing more.
It`s on todays front pages too but no mention of those poor kiddies
She has been named on the Sky website.
It is strange that so little has been reported on this though.

Eric Baikubi, 27, of Hathaway Crescent, east London, and Magalie Bamu, also 27 and of the same address, will appear at the Old Bailey on December 30.
Police have not released the identity of the dead boy.
This is a bit more info from The Sun.
Appears to be the boys sister and boyfriend who only moved there two weeks ago.
the police/courts can block media reporting
The lad sounds like he was subject to long term abuse at the hands of his sister and her bf, and the other kids were too, but this poor lad has ended up dead infact it really reminds me of victoria climbie
no doubt reports will come in about how social services and other government bodies were aware of the family etc an apology will be issued the abusers will get a slap on the wrists and there will continue to be god nows how many other children in the UK living in situations like this
Sad but true I'm afraid.
Although I have to say I'm surprised about the amount of coverage the Joanna Yeates murder has received, if you think about the hundreds of people who go missing every day that you don't hear anything about, but I think the reasons for that will become clear soon enough.
watch now for his accusers to start mud slinging him. i hope the coroners office can prove this abuse has probably been ongoing and not an isolated incident.
they should throw away the key imho.
Not much speculation there
Where to you glean this information from?
