A mother-of-eight yesterday broke down in tears after telling a jury that a ‘nun’s curse’ had ruined her life.
Lucille Cope, 57, said that Mother Martin put a jinx on her while she was in Dalbeath Approved School in Bishopton in 1971.
In evidence at Paisley Sheriff Court, Mrs Cope said: “The curse placed on me by Sister Martin has followed me all my life.
“It’s time for her to remove the curse.”
Mrs Cope, who now lives in London, was giving evidence at the trial of Anne Kenny, 79, known as Mother Rosaria, and Agnes Reville, 77, known as Mother Martin.
They deny assaulting girls in their care in the early 1970s.
