  • What was claimed Charles Bronson has attacked Thomas Hughes and taken him hostage in his prison cell. Our verdict This is false. The two men are in different prisons. Charles Bronson has attacked Thomas Hughes and taken him hostage in his prison cell. This is false. The two men are in different prisons. A post on Facebook claimed on 12 December that the armed robber Charles Bronson (now known as Charles Salvador) has taken Thomas Hughes, father of Arthur Labinjo-Hughes, hostage in his prison cell, where he has attacked him. This is not true—in fact, the Ministry of Justice confirmed the two men are not even in the same prison. A spokesperson described the claim as “definitely false”. On 3 December, Hughes was jailed for 21 years and his partner, Emma Tustin, for a minimum of 29 years, over the torture and killing of his six-year-old son Arthur. Honesty in public debate matters You can help us take action – and get our regular free email This post closely follows the format of other similarly false claims about prisoners attacking one another, which often rack up hundreds, if not thousands, of shares on social media. As we’ve written before, Bronson—who was jailed for seven years in 1974 for armed robbery, but has remained in prison almost continuously ever since due to violent behaviour—is often the focus of these posts. False posts have previously claimed Bronson has attacked other high-profile offenders such as Wayne Couzens, a Metropolitan Police officer who in September was sentenced to a whole-life prison term for murdering Sarah Everard. We’ve also seen a number of false posts about Hughes being attacked in prison. This article is part of our work fact checking potentially false pictures, videos and stories on Facebook. You can read more about this—and find out how to report Facebook content—here. For the purposes of that scheme, we’ve rated this claim as false because a Ministry of Justice spokesperson has confirmed this is not true. The two men are not in the same prison. Full Fact fights for good, reliable information in the media, online, and in politics.
