Care Director Up In Court

A former director of a care home charged with attempting to pervert the course of justice appeared in court today.

Karnjit Kaur Tung, 34, above, of Badgerdale Way, Littleover, appeared at Southern Derbyshire Magistrates Court.

She is charged with attempting to pervert the course of justice between January 20 and June 1, 2007.

Tung is the former director of Meadowside Residential Home in London Road, Alvaston.

Police said she was charged after the death of 83-year-old resident Frank Richardson, who died in January last year.

Police have confirmed the charge centres on allegations that accurate details of the death were not provided and false documents relating to the death were produced.

The case was committed for trial at Derby Crown Court on May 22. Tung was granted conditional bail.
