But after their father, and Sabina’s husband, Malcolm passed away in August of 2015, the sisters were forced to find a caregiver during the daytime while they were at work. The sisters started suspecting the abuse when their mother’s health started to get progressively worse. Gina and Mandy installed security cameras in their home after they suspected that their mother was being attacked.

According to the Irish Mirror, Gina said: ‘we thought her decline was just her dementia, to begin with. You used to walk in and she would grab hold of your hand really tight.’

Mandy had just left the house in Kettering 10 minutes before the abuse occurred. Gina saw the footage at work on her phone while demonstrating the camera’s functions to a customer at an electrical shop. In the disturbing video, Sabina could be seen slapped, shouted at and having her blanket ripped from her. The video also shows the 78-year-old mother hiding her hands under her blanket before the caregiver slaps her multiple times.
