The first nun to give evidence to the Historical Institutional Abuse Inquiry has denied allegations that she physically, emotionally and psychologically abused children in her care.
The Sisters of Nazareth witness, who is in her 70s and cannot be identified, is accused of carrying out the abuse, including beating children when they wet the bed, at a children’s home in Londonderry.
Seven former pupils at Termonbacca home for boys and girls accused her of a variety of physical offences, when she and another nun looked after more than 50 boys at the home in the late 1950s.
