Myanmar widow jailed for throwing hot water on child servant

YANGON: A Myanmar widow who threw boiling water on a 14-year-old servant leaving her with horrific burns has been jailed for seven years, a rare flicker of justice for the country's legion of child domestic workers.

Aye Aye Soe was arrested late last year for pouring two flasks of boiling water on the girl—one for each orange she was accused of stealing.
