The Trapani prosecutor's
office on Wednesday requested six suspects to go on trial,
including two nuns, following an investigation into child abuse
at a residential children's home.
Sister Teresa Mandirà and Sister Yvonne Jacqueline Noah are
among the six ordered to stand trial for suspected abuse at the
Pio X Institute in Valderice in the province of Trapani.
Mandirà was put under house arrest in March 2013 while the
others under investigation were prohibited from being around
children.
The prosecutor's office said the suspects "performed
continuous beatings, both with bare hands and with objects, on
the children hosted by the institute".
