An assault charge has been re-laid over an incident at a Myrtle Bank nursing home where a 72-year-old grandmother was found battered and bruised in 2015. The fresh prosecution follows the sudden withdrawal last year of charges against a man, which left Elizabeth “Libby” Hannaford’s family dismayed. They had arrived at the Adelaide Magistrates Court in September last year expecting the hearing to begin, only to discover the charges had been withdrawn two months earlier. In response to inquiries at the time as to why the charges were withdrawn, Superintendent Stuart McLean said: “SA Police are confident that there was no reasonable prospect of conviction in this matter.” Now charges have been re-laid against the man who was a carer at the home at the time.
