Bilikesu Olagunju, a newly assigned care worker, was accused of mistreating John, an 88-year-old dementia patient. Incidents included physical abuse and neglect of John's dietary needs, which were crucial due to his diabetes. Following her aggressive actions, John was found unconscious on Christmas morning and later died. Although a post-mortem didn't link his death directly to Olagunju's behavior, his son believed her actions contributed significantly to the tragedy. The judge expressed disbelief that an inexperienced carer was assigned to a vulnerable elderly man, highlighting the challenges and importance of proper training in caregiving.
"Maybe I will beat you up. I will flog you. I will take you to the GP to get injections. I will call the police on you."
"Frankly it beggars belief that someone would be allocated an elderly man with dementia as their first client."
"I personally feel your actions in part contributed to his sudden death."
"Being a carer is a very, very difficult job and frankly people don't appreciate it until they need it."
