A Kenyan woman is among six nurses charged with death of inmate in TX
A Kenyan woman Lilian Okeri is among six nurses who were charged in connection to the death of a man who was in the custody of the Midland County Detention Center.
The six are Adeola Adesomi, 41, Flor Estrada, 30, Timothy Forbush, 28, Kelly Robins, 52, Lilian Okeri, 27, and Esther Ihediwa, 45. They have all been charged with Manslaughter, Criminally Negligent Homicide and Tampering with a Government Record.
According to the Indictment records, the nurses allegedly caused the death of the inmate around July 11, 2019.
The inmate, Savion Hall, reportedly died because the nurses failed to maintain proper records of his medical care and comply with the standards of care as expected.
After Hall’s death, employees of the Midland County Sheriff’s Office began investigating the circumstances leading to his death.
Four of the suspects were arrested by the Lone Star Fugitive Task Force, while Okeri was arrested by the Big Spring Sheriff’s Office.
None of the five arrested were employees of Midland County according to Midland District Attorney Laura Nodolf.
