A PRIEST, who had been arrested on suspicion of historical
child sexual abuse, committed suicide at his home near Oswestry, a
coroner has ruled.
Father Ernest Sands, 67, was found dead inside a shed on April 11 near his home at Hirnant on the day he was due to answer bail set by Lancashire Police. Last year, Fr Sands was arrested on suspicion of sexually abusing five boys aged from 11 to 15 at a Catholic seminary in the late 1970s and 1980s.
