Xiao, speaking in Mandarin through a translator at his sentencing hearing Thursday, told Karam’s family he was “deeply sorry for what I did.” Xiao, a 44-year-old permanent resident, told the court he did not intend to hurt Karam, but that in that moment he failed to remember his duty to his client. “I have used the wrong way of doing things,” he said.

An adult care home manager from Prestatyn, has been removed from the Register of Social Care Workers after a Social Care Wales hearing found her fitness to practise was impaired. The hearing heard that Kathleen Duffy told staff to take cash payments for residents’ fees to her home while she was employed as a manager at Beach Court Care Home in the town from late 2012 until August 2015. Mrs Duffy was also accused of failing to keep adequate records of residents’ money, allowing this money to be used for reasons that didn’t benefit the residents, completing records retrospectively and falsifying signatures on the records.
