Woman appears in court charged with manslaughter over care home resident death
A woman has appeared in court charged with manslaughter over the death of a care home resident.
Jane Barnard, 65, appeared before Cheltenham Magistrates’ Court accused of killing Derek Davies, 75, who died on September 8 2021.
Charges allege that Barnard, of Longlevens, Gloucester, ill-treated or neglected Mr Davies between September 5 and September 9 that year.
Gloucestershire Police previously confirmed that Barnard was working as a care worker at Wheatridge Court in Abbeydale, Gloucester, where Mr Davies was a resident, at the time.
A court spokeswoman confirmed that Barnard did not enter a plea to the two charges against her, and spoke to confirm her details during the hearing.
District Judge Lynne Matthews sent the case to Gloucester Crown Court, where Barnard will appear on October 17.
