The sister of latest Sugababe Amelle Berrabah has been suspended from her hospital job and charged with theft � after apparently stealing the ring from a dead patient�s finger.

Zakiya Berrabah also allegedly stole credit cards and personal belongings from other patients and colleagues.

�Things had been going missing for some time. There was real concern when a relative of an elderly female patient who had died reported that her wedding ring was missing� said a hospital source quoted by The Sun.

She added: �It was only when the last card vanished that a female member of staff reported it to a matron and police. Zakiya was then arrested.�

Zakiya was apparently fond of bragging about her little sister�s success with the Sugababes, although we doubt Amelle will be quite so complimentary.

A court date has been set for March 5th.
