“This means the patient has to be carried or attended to by 2 people all the time.
“Unfortunately for the boy, his partner was unavailable at the moment & instead of waiting the boy decided to single handedly carry the patient.
“The patient fell & the boy quickly carried the patient up & back to the bed.
“He didn’t make any report about the incident.
“The next day the patient passed & they noticed bruises on the body, investigation showed the late patient had a fall that was not reported.
“The boy was charged to court & will be jailed for 10yrs for manslaughter.
“Please be careful and stay safe wherever in the abroad you find yourself.
“You can’t leave your country to seek a better life only to land in jail and maybe a deportation afterwards. Really sad!”
