Kazeema Afzal, 37, was throttled at Health Lane Hospital in West Bromwich. Kieffer Sutton, 25, wrapped a cord around her neck on July 2, 2023A mental health nurse told how she almost died when a trans hospital patient tried to strangle her using a drawstring from his hoodie.
She said Sutton had complained about the presence of a male nurse when he changed or needed to use his en-suite bathroom, so the care plan was altered to allow the male nurse to step out of his bedroom. Sutton had committed 46 counts of actual or threatened violence and over half were carried out on members of healthcare staff.
The nurse had previously worked alongside her sister Areema Nasreen, also a nurse, at Walsall Manor Hospital. The 36-year-old tragically died after contracting Covid-19 in the early weeks of the pandemic and Mrs Afzal moved to the mental health unit 'because there were just so many memories at the hospital'.
