A PHNOM Penh woman accused of torturing two teenagers she employed as domestic servants has been sent to court for questioning after her arrest on the weekend, police said.

Sao Chanthy, 38, was arrested by police in the capital’s Sen Sok district Friday after a local rights group accused her of splashing hot water on two teenagers working in her house.

On Sunday, the woman was transferred to Phnom Penh Municipal Court following questioning by police officers, said Mak Hong, Sen Sok’s police chief. Police believe the woman doused a 17-year-old boy with hot water after she suspected him of theft.

“She checked the child’s pockets and found 11,500 riels. It caused her to become angry, and she threw hot water on the child’s belly,” Mak Hong said.
