A CARER is facing a jail sentence after he neglected a woman he was supposed to be looking after.
A court heard Betty Lambard had not been seen by neighbours for some days, and they alerted the police.
Officers found her when they went to her home on April 26 this year.
Chelmsford Crown Court was told Mrs Lambard has since died.
Carer Ian Martin, 51, of Lincoln Avenue, Jaywick, admitted a charge of wilful neglect when he appeared in court.
Sentencing was adjourned for reports. Martin was granted bail until next month.
