Two nuns ‘tied woman to a pipe for two days and tortured her when she was at convent school in the seventies’
By Steve Robson
A teenager was tied to a pipe and tortured for two days by nuns who ran the convent school she attended, a court has heard.
Anne Kenny, 79, and Agnes Reville, 77, are accused of assaulting eight girls at Dalbeath Approved School in Renfrewshire, near Glasgow, in the 1970s.
Catherine Logan, 57, claims in one incident Kenny, known as Mother Rosari, hit her so hard with a carpet beater she ruptured her spleen.
She told Paisley Sheriff Court that she was ‘hit’ about twelve or thirteen times – including with a riding crop – and also alleged she was drugged.
Kenny faces four charges of assault while Reville is accused of five charges of assault.
