A GIRL aged just three has died after her dad allegedly forced her to sit in a bath full of scorching hot water because she had diarrhea.
The tot, Rabiha Khaled Abdel Hamid, was rushed to hospital in Ajdabiya in Libya – but did not survive the severe burn injuries from the boiling water.
According to details revealed by the Criminal Investigation Department, her father – who has not been named – is accused of causing her fatal injuries.
He allegedly hit the three-year-old with a rope before forcing her to sit in a bathtub with hot water for an hour, burning her tiny body.
Rabiha's dad then allegedly locked her in a room until 9pm, but it is not clear on how long she was forced to stay in there for.
After letting her out, Rabiha’s father agreed to contact one of his wife’s relatives to take the toddler to hospital.
It was claimed she had injured herself when she walked into the kitchen and spilled hot water over herself.
Members of the Criminal Investigation Department reportedly confronted both parents and upon presenting them with evidence, they are said to have admitted to the crime, which allegedly happened on May 9.
The authorities also reportedly had evidence that the father was a drug addict.
