UK Nurse Removed from Register for Exploiting 99-Year-Old Woman's Assets
A UK nurse, Rebecca Burwood, was removed from the nursing register after a tribunal found she exploited a vulnerable 99-year-old woman, obtaining assets and money worth approximately £770,000 (around Rs 9.6 crore). Burwood persuaded the woman to transfer ownership of her house, valued at £400,000 (around Rs 5 crore), and used funds for personal expenses including a car, campervan, home improvements, and alleged cosmetic surgery. The exploitation began in 2017 after the woman became isolated following a fall and continued until she moved into a care home in 2018.
