Sherwood Rise Limited – admitted a charge of corporate manslaughter

Three former care home bosses have been accused of manslaughter by gross negligence after Ivy Atkin, 86, died in November 2012, just days after she was moved out of the Autumn Grange care home in Nottingham.

The care home company, Sherwood Rise Limited, has admitted a charge of corporate manslaughter. Yousef Kahn has pleaded guilty to the manslaughter of Ivy Atkin.

Two other people, Mohammed Khan, 38, from Zulla Road, Nottingham and Naseen Kiani, 53, from Whirlow Grange Drive, Sheffield, still face separate charges relating to Mrs Atkin’s death. The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) confirmed it was the first care home company to be charged under the Corporate Manslaughter Act.  Sentencing has yet to take place.
