Catalogue of failures led to woman’s murder in Bristol care home, coroner finds

The coroner found that senior managers at the care home were "reckless" in their supervision of Jason Conroy, the resident who strangled Mathieson. Conroy had a history of sexual violence, which the care home managers failed to adequately address. The coroner concluded that the lack of proper supervision and risk assessment contributed to Mathieson's tragic death. The case highlights the need for greater accountability and improved safety measures in care homes to protect vulnerable individuals.
