SINGAPORE – Feeling frustrated after a 73-year-old resident refused to have his mouth cleaned, a nursing home healthcare assistant pinned the man’s right arm to his torso while the victim was lying in bed.
The 27-year-old offender, Thiha, then climbed on top of the elderly man and used both arms to hold him down.
At one point, the Myanmar national even used his left hand to hold the victim’s neck, pinning him to the bed.
The elderly man, who uses a wheelchair, has conditions such as bipolar disorder and diabetes.
On Aug 11, Thiha, who goes by only one name, was sentenced to a week in jail after he pleaded guilty to using criminal force on the victim in a room at St Andrew’s Nursing Home in Aljunied.
