An eight-year-old Emirati girl murdered by her father and his girl friend in Dubai died because of boiling water and kicking by the couple after she was locked up in the bathroom, according to her younger sister.

“They had shaved off her head and poured hot water on her until she lost consciousness…they then started to kick her and locked her in the bathroom,” the six-year-old Mira said, quoted by Emarat Al Youm newspaper.

“When they opened the bathroom door later, they found her dead…I hear them saying they would bury her in the desert…my father then wrapped her with his wizar (waist cloth) and carried her outside…I have not seen her eversince.”

Mira, who has been in hospital as she herself has also been tortured, said her father and his girl friend had also shaved her head off and beat her up.

“They have also poured hot water on my naked body and tortured me with sharp objects without any reason…we used to ask my father if we can go out and play but he used to say no on the grounds we are dirty.”

The paper quoted Mira’s mother as saying she blamed Wadima’s grandparents for her death after they handed her two daughters to their father.

“I lost their custody after my divorce of him in 2006 and they were handed first to their grandparents…they then handed them to their father…how can they do this knowing that he has a police record…I demanded divorce because life with this man is impossible and no human being can stand it…I think Wadima’s grandparents shoulder the responsibility of her death.”
