Paedophile priest who 'took taxi to home of his abuse victim, 13 who killed himself, to check if he had left a suicide note'.

Following 13-year-old Andrew Nash's suicide in 1974, a now-famous pedophile Marist brother swung up to his home and asked his mom whether the kid had left a note.



(The Marist Brothers of the Schools, commonly known as simply the Marist Brothers, is an international community of Catholic Religious Institute of Brother).

Over four decades later, the Newcastle kid's 90-year-old mother, Audrey Nash trusts the sibling had been sexually manhandling her child at the Marist Brothers secondary school in Hamilton, north of Sydney, an royal commission has listened.



Audrey Nash on Tuesday pulled over a cab driver and instructing him to get an emergency vehicle and a minister subsequent to discovering her child hanging in his room in October, 1974.

Three clerics and three Marist siblings including Andrew's class master Brother Romuald turned up, she said.

Brother Romuald, whose real name is Francis Cable, asked whether Andrew had left a note or said anything.

Both Ms Nash and one of her different children, known as CQT, affirmed they trust the siblings went to their home to ensure no cursing proof was left after Andrew's demise.

She said she went to speak to another priest about her suspicions of abuse in 2012.
'Look Aud, it's been going on forever,' she recalled him saying.

'The Romans had their little boys, the Greeks had their little boys and the English aristocrats had their little boys.'

The royal commission has heard children were raped and groped at Andrew's and CQT's high school, Marist Brothers at Hamilton.
