Originally noticing bruises on her father a few months ago, Ms Celine inquired into the reasons for the injuries but was only told by the care centre that Mr Nabulsi may have fallen.

"He was complaining about pain and when I took down his trousers I noticed dark, black bruising that had been there for a while," said Ayda. "I was advised that he might have fallen, so I let it go".

However, as the senior's condition worsened, his daughter suspected that something was going amiss. To find out the empirical truth, Ms Celine installed a hidden CCTV camera in her father's bedroom, and to her absolute horror, the camera captured Mr Nabulsi being abused by his carer.

Detective Acting Inspector Guy Magee of New South Wales Police told local news that he found watching the footage disturbing, adding he couldn't imagine what it must be like for the family. "It's cowardly, it's disgraceful," he added.

A 71-year-old soccer fan was arrested for alleged racist abuse of Manchester City forward Antoine Semenyo at a Premier League game, Everton said Tuesday.

Everton said Merseyside Police arrested a 71-year-old man on suspicion of a racially aggravated public order offense after supporters and Hill Dickinson Stadium staff reported the incident at the game Monday.

“Racism and discrimination in all forms are completely unacceptable,” Everton said in a statement.

Man City said it welcomed “the swift action taken by Everton and the police to identify the individual responsible.”

Semenyo was targeted in a similar incident at a previous Premier League game in the city of Liverpool, while playing for Bournemouth in the season opener.

The Ghana international, who is Black, alleged he was racially abused by a Liverpool fan while preparing to take a throw-in during Bournemouth’s 4-2 loss at Anfield in August.

That game was paused for the man to be ejected from the stadium. He is due in court later this year.

Man City also condemned online racist abuse targeted at its defender Marc Guéhi after the 3-3 draw Monday evening.

“We will continue to offer our full support to both Antoine and Marc and never accept discrimination of any kind in our game,” the club said.
