Nuns set to face trial over alleged abuse at approved school in 1970s

TWO nuns accused of abusing girls in their care at an approved school are to stand trial. The Court of Appeal has overturned a sheriff’s ruling that the case had taken too long to come to court and should not proceed.

Nuns Anne Kenny, 77, and Agnes Reville, 75, claimed a trial would breach their human rights because documents had been lost and witnesses had died. The pair, who now both live in the north of England, are charged with a string of offences at Dalbeth Approved School in Bishopton, Renfrewshire, in the 1970s.
