AA mother has been sentenced to life in prison for starving her six-year-old son to death in Arizona, USA. Six-year-old Deshaun Martinez was tragically killed. A 29-year-old mother, Elizabeth Archibe, locked her son in a closet full of urine and starved her to death. “The court said that you deserve to be sentenced to life imprisonment for a despicable, cruel and despicable act, and also ruled that you should serve the sentence without the possibility of parole. Elizabeth was sentenced by Coconino Superior Court Judge Ted Reed.
They have been charged with murder and child abuse. The New York Post reports that six-year-old Martinez weighed only eight kilograms when she died. The investigating officer himself said about the incident that it was a terrible experience. He had never seen such a horrible thing in his life. When Deshaun Martinez was found in his family’s apartment, he was nothing more than bones, said Flagstaff Police Detective Melissa See.
Deshaunt’s father Anthony Martinez and grandmother Ann Martinez were involved in the case but could not be proven guilty. Melissa told the court that Martinez and his seven-year-old brother had to spend up to 16 hours a day in a 25-inch closet. The couple has four children. Two of these girls are healthy. The police autopsy report suggests that Deshaun died due to severe starvation and the death was a homicide.
After the verdict, Elizabeth confessed that she was responsible for her son’s death. She also said that she accepts the punishment she received. ‘Not a day goes by when he does not mourn his son. I am sorry’ was their response. Martinez’s grandmother was the first to see her grandson’s body. They saw the child lying motionless and informed the police.

Archibe and Anthony Martinez initially told the police that their son died of medical complications. But they both agreed that the child died due to lack of food. She also said that her son was given very little food as punishment for stealing food at night
