A PAIR of nuns have been arrested for torturing 65 children in their care by burning their hands and forcing their heads down toilet bowls.
The disturbing case took place in the city of Popayan, capital of the Colombian department of Cauca.
Director of the Santa Clara Rebirth Home, Sor Ines Perez, and her colleague Rosa Elvira Trochez Joaqui were both arrested following a police probe.
The authorities had been alerted to possible torture in the care home by neighbours who heard screams and cries from the kids who lived there.
Investigators found that the youngsters suffered physical and psychological torment in the care home with neighbours branding it as hell for the children, according to local media.
