OLD demons came back to haunt former Neerkol Orphanage residents who lived at the institution between 1940 and 1975.
The witnesses who will give evidence throughout the two-week hearing were expected to identify the main alleged offenders of sexual abuse as Father John Anderson (deceased), Father Reginald Durham (deceased), Father Cahill (deceased) and Kevin Baker.
Mr Baker, a former employee at the orphanage, denies the allegations of sexual abuse.
A witness, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, yesterday gave evidence about the sexual abuse she suffered from Fr Durham.
