The wicked woman, Mrs Betheyln Falade was dragged to the police station for pouring hot water on her housemaid, a 12 year old girl whose name was Chinemerem Sunday for the offence of being stubborn.
According to Punchng; the 27 year old Betheyln reasons for the bad act was triggered due to her missing laptop which the house help said was taken by her brother-in-law named Lekan, while she was not around.
The police said Betheyln who hails from Abia State grabbed a kettle from the gas cooker filled with hot water and poured it on the girl’s chest on the grounds that she should have notified her before allowing her brother-in-law take the laptop.
Betheyln’s neighbours were the ones who called the attention of a human right group after they saw the badly burnt chest of the girl.
She later appeared before a Magistrate’s Court at Ojokoro in the Ifako-IJaiye on two counts of maltreatment and assault where she is being prosecuted.
