A FORMER resident of Smyllum Park orphanage yesterday wished the nun who allegedly abused him the ‘best of luck when you face God’. Billy Whicher, 69, said he had a tooth broken when he was attacked by a nun who meted out violent beatings to him during the late 1950s and early 1960s.
He was left partially deaf at the age of 11 after a member of staff allegedly hit his head – wrongly believing he had knocked over a bag of potatoes. Yesterday, Mr Whicher was told by Colin MacAulay, QC, for the Scottish Child Abuse Inquiry (SCAI), that the nun he claims abused him denied the allegations, telling the probe she would ‘never do anything to the boys’.
