Oxfordshire Woman Sentenced After Mother Died in Pool of Diarrhea

May 2, 2018 By Michael Turner Leave a Comment

Oxfordshire Woman

Mother of recently sentenced Oxfordshire woman stood in her own waste five days after she died.

The Oxford Crown Court recently sentenced a 41-year-old Oxfordshire woman to two-and-a-half years in prison after her mother was discovered dead in her house on the 2nd of July 2014. Prosecution declared that the elderly woman was found lying in a pool of diarrhea and that she had urine burns on her body.

Oxfordshire Woman Diagnosed with Mild Autism, Judge Noted

On Friday, Judge Peter Ross of the Oxford Crown Court sentenced 41-year-old Emma-Jane Kurtz of Oxfordshire to two-and-a-half-years in prison for gross neglect that led to the death of her 79-year-old mother.

Ross ordered Kurtz to serve at least half of her prison sentence in light of the graphical evidence presented by the prosecution.

According to the court documents, Cecily Kurtz, Emma-Jane’s mother, was diagnosed with dementia several years ago. Since then, the woman could no longer care for herself, being reliant on the help of her daughter.

In July 2014, the British authorities went to Emma-Jane’s house to check up on her bed-ridden mother. The scene alone would make even the most seasoned police officer turn away in pity and disgust.

According to the police report detailing the Kurtz case, Cecily was found lying on a diarrhea-soaked sofa. Visibly neglected, the 78-year-old woman’s white diaper was mahogany, and she had severe urine burns on her body.

Even more appalling is the fact that the woman was found in an unnatural position, with her chin on her knees. The post-mortem investigation revealed that Cecily Kurtz stood in that position five days after her death.

Francesca Griffin, a Detective Constable, declared that the woman’s clothes nearly fell apart when the paramedics attempted to remove the body from the sofa.

Conclusion

While the defense argued that Oxfordshire woman has autism, Judge Roos dismisses the mental illness defense, arguing that the woman’s condition is mild and can, therefore, be held accountable for her acts.

Remember that strange guy from high-school who never seems to be paying any attention to classes and is completely absorbed by his doodles and sketches? That’s was me 14 years ago. I’ve been drawing for as long as I can remember - according to my mom, since I was in diapers - and that has never changed - except for the diaper part. For a very long time I thought that animations and graphic design are my calling, but two years ago I got side-tracked and started building an interactive website with a couple of friends. It received instant gratification from fellow internet users, and that’s when I realized that the virtual medium is where I belong. I can freely share my passions with others, work on ingenious new projects and find the most fascinating information about, well, everything. I spend most of my free time writing reviews for crazy gadgets on ArgyllFreePress, I work as an interactive designer for an independent firm and I also received my Fine Arts degree from the University of Oxford.
