The inquiry into child sexual abuse has heard that a Melbourne pedophile priest showed children a body in a coffin, carried a gun to school and held a knife against a child’s chest.

Father Peter Searson was described by a fellow priest as a bizarre human being who the commission heard indecently assaulted a girl during confession.

Former priest Philip O’Donnell told the commission that Sunbury parish nuns told him Searson took children into his room for sex education.
