An 89-year-old man - the oldest person to come forward to speak to
the Historical Institutional Abuse Inquiry - has described how he was
beaten every day by a nun and constantly sexually abused by older boys
in Nazareth Lodge in Belfast.
Helped to the witness box in his wheelchair, the 89-year-old man told
the inquiry he had been sent to Nazareth Lodge in 1929 when he was just
three years old. He described a life of fear and abuse, telling
the panel that because he wet the bed every morning he would be placed
in an ice cold bath and had buckets of water thrown over him.
