COLONIAL HEIGHTS, Va. — New details are coming out about what role two employees at a Colonial Heights nursing facility allegedly had in a deadly elderly abuse case.
The Commonwealth’s Attorney painted the connection to a judge during a court hearing Friday deciding if they would get bond. These defendants are in addition to the employees who appeared in court Thursday.
A judge denied bond for Kamesha Kittrell, the director of nursing and Shakima Brewer, a night nurse.
The Colonial Heights Deputy Commonwealth’s Attorney alleges the two played a part in creating the conditions that ultimately led to a resident’s death.
According to the Deputy Commonwealth’s Attorney, Kittrell was responsible for ensuring staff was giving proper care and were properly trained.
She alleges records were falsified showing care was given to the resident who died when it wasn’t. The prosecutor also claims training was not done for staff and says Kittrell just had them sign off that it was. She claims Kittrell also told police she wasn’t going to turn herself in when warrants were out for her arrest.
