The children were all residents of an orphanage run by Catholic nuns
and were found buried in an unmarked mass grave in a section of St
Mary’s Cemetery.
The orphanage looked after 11,600 children between 1864 and 1981. In 2003, former residents Frank Docherty and Jim Kane discovered a burial plot containing the bodies of a number of children who they say were sexually abused before being killed.
