Stacey Smith was found guilty of attempted murder
An ambulance worker who subjected her boss to a ‘frenzied’ hammer attack has been found guilty of attempted murder.
Smith was lying in wait for Ms Morton one morning as she left her home for work. Ms Morton was hit to the head as Smith ‘screamed that she was going to kill her’. She suffered a fractured wrist while being hit as she raised her arm to protect herself. Prosecuting, Hayley Bennett told the trial that the attack came after Smith had harboured ‘resentment and hatred’ towards Ms Morton, an operations manager for NWAS.
“Allowances were made and it seemed as though the matter was at an end, but then the issue of shift patterns arose again.” Smith’s trial heard that the issue went on for ‘several months’. Ms Bennett said that ‘concerns arose’ surrounding Smith’s mental health, and ‘safeguarding action’ was taken so that she would be put on sick leave. A report by occupational health reported ‘no concerns’ regarding Smith’s mental health.
