A NUN was yesterday found guilty of being cruel to children in her
care after a trial lasting six weeks.
Marie Docherty, 58, known as Sister Alphonso, sat in the dock
wearing her blue habit and with her head bowed as the jury returned
majority guilty verdicts on four charges.
Another nun in the court's public gallery wept quietly and clutched rosary beads as the verdicts were delivered. Earlier, the court heard that police launched an investigation after one of Docherty's victims, Helen Cusiter, now 43, went back to Nazareth House in Aberdeen, the children's home where she had lived in the 1960s.
