Tripoli, Aug 30 (ANI): A nanny who worked for one of ousted Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi's daughter-in-law was burned by boiling hot water poured over her head after she refused to beat her daughter.
Shweyga Mullah was found abandoned in a room at one of the family's luxury villas in Tripoli, after she was allegedly burned by Hannibal Gaddafi's wife, Aline Skaf, the Daily Mail reports.
Mullah, 30, came from Ethiopia to work as a nanny for the couple's young daughter and son a year ago.
Telling her story to CNN, Mullah said model Aline lost her temper when her daughter wouldn't stop crying and Mullah refused to beat the child.
"She took me to a bathroom. She tied my hands behind my back, and tied my feet. She taped my mouth, and she started pouring the boiling water on my head," the paper quoted Mullah, as saying.
"There were maggots coming out of my head, because she had hidden me, and no one had seen me," she said.
A guard later took her to a hospital, where she received some treatment but when Aline found out, he was threatened with imprisonment if he dared to help her again.
Her chest, torso and legs are all mottled with some old, and some still red scars, the paper said.
Mullah was burned twice, the latest incident three months ago.
She said she wanted to go to the hospital but was unable to afford doing so as Gaddafis did not give her 'one penny' in the year that she worked for them. (ANI)
