The daughter of an elderly woman murdered at a Newcastle aged care facility has called for better video surveillance in nursing homes. On Wednesday, 29-year-old Garry Steven Davis was found guilty of murdering residents Gwen Fowler, 83, and Ryan Kelly, 80, in 2013. Ms Fowler was injected with a large dose of insulin she did not need. Her eldest daughter Gail said she hoped the tragedy would lead to improved monitoring of elderly patients. “It’s a bit like the one where the [Quakers Hill] nursing home was burnt down,” she said. “I believe that they made sure that there should be smoke detectors in nursing homes and they gave them a certain amount of time to do that. So hopefully CCTV cameras will be installed because they should be in many more places.”
