Courtney Richman, a 26-year-old woman, was waiting in line at the bank when she had a sudden outburst of anger. She was waiting for Myra Coutinho-Lopez, an 82-year-old woman who unfortunately suffered from Alzheimer's disease. As the wait continued, Myra became confused about the funds in her account. She had forgotten that she had withdrawn money just a few days prior. This led to a 15-minute argument with the cashier, causing a long queue to form at the Llyod's branch in Welwyn Garden City.
Unfortunately, a "red mist" seemed to descend upon Courtney as the wait dragged on. She began shouting at the other customers, urging them to hurry up. As Myra walked away, another customer offered to help her. This prompted Courtney to start applauding sarcastically. However, Myra was not amused and told Courtney off for being rude. She even made a hurtful comment about Courtney's love life.
In a fit of anger, Courtney swung her handbag at Myra, who responded by pushing her to the floor. Myra suffered severe injuries, including fractures in her left upper arm and thigh. These injuries caused fatty substances to be released into her body, resulting in damage to her lungs and brain. She was taken to the hospital but sadly passed away ten days later.
Courtney was later found guilty of manslaughter at Luton Crown Court. In a statement, Myra's family expressed their grief and the impact her death has had on their lives. The prosecutor described Courtney's reaction as "wholly inappropriate and unreasonably violent." The other customers present at the bank were shocked and gasped when Myra ended up on the floor.
However, Courtney claimed that she acted instinctively when Myra hit her with the handbag. She expressed deep regret and said that she thinks about the incident every day. She also mentioned that Myra's cognitive difficulties were not apparent to her at the time.
Overall, this tragic event serves as a reminder to always be patient and understanding towards others, especially those who may be struggling with health issues. It also highlights the importance of controlling our emotions and never resorting to violence. Myra's life was taken away in a senseless act, leaving behind a void for her loved ones. May she rest in peace.
