Event Summary

Ashton Guramatunhu, 46, was sentenced to 40 months in prison at United Kingdom — Queen Elizabeth II Law Courts, Liverpool for fraud by false representation.

His fraudulent activity was discovered in January 2019 when the United Kingdom — Nursing and Midwifery Council contacted the real nurse regarding an incident at a care home where Ashton Guramatunhu had worked. The case was investigated by United States — Cleveland Division of Police and later passed to United Kingdom — Cheshire Constabulary.
