The harrowing last recorded moments of a 'tortured' six-year-old boy show him struggling to pick up his duvet from the floor where he was forced to sleep -  just hours before he was allegedly murdered by his father and stepmother.

The heart-wrenching clip, captured on CCTV, shows an emaciated Arthur Labinjo-Hughes, whose pyjamas appear to be hanging off him, grimace in pain as he tries to pick up his cover and special Avengers pillow.

In the haunting video, filmed on June 16 last year, the tragic boy cries 'nobody loves me' as he is seen slumping to the floor before struggling to walk to the other side of the room. 

The distressing footage was shown to jurors at Coventry Crown Court on Tuesday, where Thomas Hughes, 29, and Emma Tustin, 32, are accused of killing Arthur at their home in Solihull, West Midlands, on June 17.  

The court also heard audio clips released by West Midlands Police in which little Arthur is heard saying 'no-one is going to feed me' seven times in 44 seconds. 

In another 23-second clip, he says 'no-one loves me' four times.

It comes after voice notes of Arthur crying sent from Tustin's phone have been prominent over the course of the trial.

The jury heard Tustin would often message Hughes within minutes of him leaving the home with an audio file of Arthur crying accompanied by a text saying words to the effect of 'started again' or 'still going.'

The prosecution said Tustin recorded more 200 voice notes during a three-month period. 

Arthur has been heard calling for his uncle and grandmother in some of them.

He has also been recorded asking for a drink, while in other clips Tustin's voice could be heard saying 'stand still' and issuing other similar instructions. 

The court heard the youngster suffered an unsurvivable brain injury after being subjected to a campaign of cruelty which amounted to the 'medical definition of child torture'.

This included being deprived of food,
