Would you have said it was murder.

Maximum pain damage, that boiling hot sugar takes ages to cool down, stripping skin along with it. Him being so old wouldn't have helped, a younger person would have survived it, not pretty but it wouldn't necessarily kill them.

it also sticks to the skin and is hard to rinse off.

I worked with a fella once who had served time in Gartree, and he saw it happen and said he had never heard anyone scream so much.

I've visited Gartree, many years ago. It's been known to get poured down throats too.

How does sort of thing go on without anyone doing anything about it? Ban sugar and boiling water for prisoners. Let's hope nobody does it to her in prison.

They lose their cell kettles.

Presumably they get a lot of extra time as well. Prisoners shouldn't have kettles anyway.

Of course it was murder. She even put loads of sugar in it - quite a bizarre thing to think of doing.

Thousands have died working with boiling sugar! Not so unusual if her memory is related to the industry. Obviously it is murder.
