The court heard in the months and weeks before the boy's death, Powell also assaulted Curtis by throwing a carving fork at him, hitting him in the back, and throwing a knife that struck his leg. She sent a message to somebody who came and checked on her and found Curtis lying dead on a mattress. Justice Burns said Powell made irrational statements about getting rid of the body, but then deciding to put him back in bed under the blankets. The court heard before Curtis died he was having trouble eating, his mouth had blood in it and he lost consciousness. 'Curtis relied on you to care for him as his parent and you failed him.'
