The court heard how she had worked as a carer for Mrs Youngs at her home in Barford during the summer of 2019, during which time her daughter started to notice bruises and blisters on her.
Corrina Cunningham, Mrs Youngs daughter, said: Sadly, mum passed away during the investigation, which makes it so much harder to come to terms with, knowing she was poorly treated in the last year of her life.
