Orphanage nuns 'broke 8-year-old's arm and told her to lie about priest's sexual assault'

Nuns broke the arm of an eight-year-old girl and threatened to break the other one after they found the child being sexually abused by a priest, an inquiry has heard.
The incident was one of a number that occurred in 1970 at Smyllum Park orphanage in Lanark, South Lanarkshire. The orphanage, which closed in the 1980s, was run by the Daughters of Charity of St Vincent de Paul.
