Four Nigerian care workers, Ame Tunkara, 33; Morounranti Adefila, 43; Danny Ohen, 39; and Bridget Aideyan, 49, have been jailed in the United Kingdom after a footage of them abusing an 89-year-old dementia patient emerged.
Sisters Danielle and Rebecca Hinsley became concerned after discovering bruises on their grandma, Beryl Wall, prompting them to plant a secret camera in her bedroom.
The pair complained to staff at the Wolverhampton care home in February 2020 but were left dissatisfied with the response so decided to plant a Yi Eye Wi-Fi camera on a photo frame in their grandmother’s bedroom to see what was going on as she could not speak at the time.
Their grandma-of-six, great-grandmother of 12 and the great-great grandmother-of-one passed away on October 6 last year, aged 92 – shortly after her abusers were found guilty.
The footage captured the convicted making fun of the pensioner, pushing her, aggressively holding her legs in the air and pinching her. Another showed one of them hitting her head with a pillow and calling her disgusting while pinning her down and dressing her.
Danielle and Rebecca took their evidence to the care home managers, the Care Quality Commission and West Midlands Police.
Tunkara, Adefila, Ohen and Aideyan were later charged with ill-treatment and willful neglect.
They were found guilty and jailed for a total of 18 months at Wolverhampton Crown Court at the end of last year.
