EXETER, NH — Two family members are accused of allowing a woman to lay on the floor in her own feces for days, which ultimately led to her death.
Katharine Saintil-Brown and Meritel Saintil are charged with negligent homicide, criminal neglect of an elder adult and penalty for violation (failure to report adult abuse) in connection to 76-year-old Nancy Parker's death. They are Parker's daughter and granddaughter respectively, according to the Union Leader.
Court documents said they all lived together in Exeter and the abuse happened between Feb. 12 and Feb. 17, 2016.
Parker lay on the floor for multiple days in her own feces and urine and no one helped her, said the documents. This caused her to develop a case of deadly narcotizing fasciitis, which is a flesh eating disease.
Investigators allege that both Saintil-Brown and Saintil were the caretakers for Parker and failed to make a report, as required by law, that she was living in hazardous conditions.
Saintil now lives in either Dorchester or Baltimore, according to court documents, while Saintil-Brown now lives in Houston.
The indictments were handed down by a Rockingham County grand jury in February. They are scheduled for arraignment on March 10.
