The former partner of a woman who died in a road crash just days after she was sent home from care today claimed she not given adequate help by the authorities. Antoinette Davis, 52, was hit by a white Ford Ranger travelling towards Norwich on the B1332 at Brooke in the early hours of Friday morning. The accident happened after Ms Davis had been missing from her home in Bergh Apton for five days and a major police appeal was launched. Gary Nelson, who lived with Ms Davis for 14 years, before moving out of their shared home in Church Road earlier this year, said she had been suffering from mental illness and depression for some time. He said in April, she had been taken out of her home by social services and placed in sheltered accommodation at Barnham House in Chedgrave near Loddon. She was then moved back to Church Road the Thursday before going missing, a move Mr Nelson condemned because he said there was no way she should have been let to go home. He said: “I feel totally let down by the authorities, they should not have allowed her to come back home with the state she was in, they should have cared for her. The person I feel sorry for in all of this is the car driver, my sympathies go out to him.” He is now planning to express his concerns to South Norfolk MP Richard Bacon and hopes speaking out will stop the same thing happening again.
