Iain Simkin KC prosecutes the husband and son of a late pensioner who died as a result of severe neglect.

Paramedics found Dorothy Morgan, 71, at home in Whitehaven, Cumbria, weighing just four-and-a-half stone and lying in her own waste.

She was taken to West Cumberland Hospital on 25 January, 2021, where she died 10 days later.

The pair had both denied manslaughter by gross negligence during a trial at Carlisle Crown Court.

Both were found guilty and are awaiting sentencing.
