He said the home has now introduced regular checks on the monitor system and weekly battery changes.

Gerald Hudson, trading as Milford House Partnership, denies both charges brought under the health and safety act but he does not have to appear at court as the charges were brought against the Milford House Partnership.

Judge Jonathan Bennett told the jury: "You are not here to decide if the defendant caused or did not cause the accident, it's all about the risk to safety."

The court heard that Mrs Bennett was staying by herself in a single bed in a double room that contained two double wardrobes.

Jonathan Owen, prosecuting for Amber Valley Borough Council, said a Health and Safety Executive expert had checked the wardrobe that fell on top of her.

"Only a small proportion of Mrs Bennett's weight was needed to pull over the wardrobe and the wardrobe exposed Mrs Bennett to significant risk to her health and safety," he said.

"If a suitable and sufficient assessment had been made, the defendant would have concluded that the wardrobe was not safe and fastened it to the wall."

He said the wardrobes were fastened to the wall at the Milford House Care Home after the accident.

Derbyshire Fire and Rescue said they've still not been in the Hippodrome building to investigate the cause as it's still deemed to be unstable.

Bob Curry, from Derbyshire Fire and Rescue, said the former Hippodrome building has no gas or electricity supply.

"There is no potential for an accidental fire unless someone's started a campfire for food," he said.

"The likelihood is the fire was set deliberately."
