'Wicked' carer left woman to die alone after lying about visiting

A "vile" and "wicked" carer lied about visiting a vulnerable woman, who died on her own in conditions described as "an utter disgrace".

Miya James, 25, was due to attend the home of a 71-year-old woman on January 24 and 25, 2021. The woman was suffering from covid, had recently been discharged from Whiston Hospital and suffered from mobility problems which meant she could not come down stairs.

James failed to attend three of the four visits she was scheduled to undertake across those two days, but she falsely logged her attendance on the company's system in an attempt to get paid. The woman was pronounced dead on January 25.
