After 13-year-old Andrew Nash took his own life, a now-notorious pedophile Marist brother turned up to his house and asked his mother whether the boy had left a note.
More than four decades later, the Newcastle boy’s 90-year-old mother believes the brother had been sexually abusing her son, a royal commission has heard.
Audrey Nash on Tuesday recalled pulling over a taxi driver and telling him to get an ambulance and a priest after finding her son hanging in his bedroom in October, 1974.
Three priests and three Marist brothers, including Andrew’s class master Brother Romuald, turned up, she said.
