Nun denies cruelty to 23 girls in care

A NUN was accused yesterday of "cruel and unnatural" treatment of girls in her care, including beating one with rosary beads and making others kiss her feet.

Marie Docherty, also known as Sister Alphonso, allegedly forced an epileptic girl into a cold bath while she was having a fit and used cleaning fluid to wash other girls' hair. She is also accused at Aberdeen Sheriff Court of throwing a child downstairs, forcing one to kiss a dead nun and making others in her care wear soiled underwear and bedding on their heads.
