(Aug 30, 2011, Tripoli, (CNN))--The badly burned former nanny of two of Moammar Gadhafi's grandchildren was receiving medical treatment Tuesday in the burn unit of a Tripoli hospital. Shwygar Mullah says the wife of Gadhafi's son Hannibal poured boiling water on her for failing to keep a child quiet.
She is being treated with antibiotics for an infection. Her burns are dressed. CNN first met Mullah on Sunday while visiting the luxurious former home of Hannibal Gadhafi. As a CNN crew was about to leave, one of the staff members mentioned a nanny who worked for Hannibal Gadhafi. He said that Hannibal's wife, Aline, had burned the nanny.
At first it looked as though the nanny was wearing a hat and something over her face. Then the crew realized that her scalp and face were covered in red wounds and scabs, a mosaic of injuries that rendered her face into a grotesque patchwork. Even though the burns were inflicted three months ago, she clearly was still in considerable pain, but she told her story calmly.
She'd been the nanny to Hannibal's little son and daughter. The 30-year-old came to Libya from her native Ethiopia a year ago. At first things seemed OK, but then six months into her employment she was burned by Aline, she said. Three months later the same thing happened again, this time much more seriously. In soft tones, she said Aline lost her temper when her daughter wouldn't stop crying and Mullah refused to beat the child. Read more from CNN »
