Terrifying footage has revealed how four Nigerian carers abused an 89-year-old grandmother suffering from dementia after her family became suspicious of bruises on her body and hid a secret camera in her bedroom.
According to Mail Online, sisters Danielle and Rebecca Hinsley captured footage that ‘broke our hearts’ after becoming concerned when their grandmother Beryl Wall‘s behaviour changed and she was left with injuries to her body.
The pair complained to staff at the Wolverhampton care home in February 2020 but were left dissatisfied with the response and decided to look into the matters themselves.
Ms Wall‘s granddaughters put a Yi Eye Wi-Fi camera on a photo frame in her grandmother’s bedroom to see what was happening to Mrs Wall, who could not speak at the time.
The heartbreaking footage, captured over four days, appeared to show the workers making fun of the pensioner, pushing her, aggressively holding her legs in the air, and pinching her.

The carers, Ame Tunkara, Morounranti Adefila, Danny Ohen, and Bridget 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.
