"On Monday, Frew pressed Hamber on various points, including why she and Cooney restrained the brothers, why food was withheld from L.L. as the Crown has argued, and why the couple didn't seek medical care for L.L. in the month before he died on Dec. 21, 2022. Court has heard the 12-year-old weighed as much as he did when he was six years old."
"The trial continues today for an Ontario couple accused of killing a 12-year-old boy and torturing his younger brother in their Burlington home. Becky Hamber, 46, is back testifying starting around 9 a.m. ET. Hamber and her wife, Brandy Cooney, 44, have pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder and other charges. The trial in Milton began in mid-September. The identities of the boys, L.L. and J.L., are protected under a publication ban."
Becky Hamber and Brandy Cooney have pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder and other charges after a 12-year-old boy died and his younger brother was allegedly tortured in Burlington. The trial began in mid-September in Milton and resumed with Hamber testifying. The Crown questions why the couple restrained the boys, allegedly withheld food from L.L., and did not seek medical care in the month before L.L.'s death on Dec. 21, 2022. Evidence presented includes that the 12-year-old weighed as much as he did at age six and was found unconscious and soaking wet. A 2021 video records L.L. repeatedly saying, "I'm hungry."
