Former manager of Brierley Hill care home accused of fraud admitted to hospital causing further delays to trial
The Brierley Hill care home fraud trial has been delayed until Thursday after the former manager accused of swindling a vulnerable resident has been admitted to hospital.
Jamiel Slaney-Summers was previously the subject of a warrant after failing to take her place in the dock at Wolverhampton Crown Court.
The 65-year-old is now being treated for an illness in Queen Elizabeth Hospital and will not be able to return to court until Thursday.
Slaney-Summers, of Raven Hays Road, Northfield, was absent from the start of her fraud and theft trial after securing a doctor's note.
However, when the note ran out and she informed her solicitor she 'would not be making it in' by Whatsapp message Judge John Butterfield KC ensured she was brought into the dock after being held in the court cells in handcuffs.
Last week Slaney-Summers was in court to hear evidence accusing her of abusing her position at Amberley Care Home by changing the will of a resident and stealing £6,000 from the same woman.
