EVIL NUNS ARE CAGED

TWO nuns and a care worker who abused vulnerable youngsters at a notorious Scots orphanage have each been jailed for three years.

Sister Sarah McDermott, 79, Sister Eileen Igoe, 79, and carer Margaret Hughes, 76, subjected children to terrifying ordeals at Smyllum Park in Lanark.

The three women denied any wrongdoing between 1969 and 1981 and went on trial at Airdrie Sheriff Court.
