Priest: No foundation to charges

A priest has said there is no foundation to charges against the Irish nanny accused of assaulting a one-year-old baby, who later died.

Aisling McCarthy Brady, 34, is expected to learn in days whether she faces a murder charge over the death of Rehma Sabir whom she cared for in Massachusetts.

Fr Kevin Fay, priest in Lavey, Co Cavan, where the Brady family were raised, said they were well-known and respected. “It is an allegation at the moment,” he said. “Allegations are allegations — there’s no foundation to them, no foundation at the moment to any of them.”
