A nine-month-old baby girl, Salama Salem Mazmi, who was allegedly beaten by Indonesian maid, succumbed to her injuries on Wednesday.

The Emirati child was rushed to Al Qassimi Hospital in a state of coma after she was beaten and tortured by the housemaid in Sharjah.

Salama was brought to the hospital in an unconscious state and doctor, after examination, informed the parents that the child has suffered physical assault.

Doctors told the father that there were traces of severe beating and she had internal injuries as well.

Arabic daily Emarat Al Youm reported that the infant suffered skull fracture, broken rib, bruises on her face and internal bleeding.

The father informed the police and after interrogation the Indonesian maid accepted beating Salama.

The maid has been with the family for four year and taking care of the child who was born premature.

The maid took care of Salama as her mother was 7-months pregnant and couldn't take too much work load in this condition.

The father works in the military in Abu Dhabi and is devastated after losing his daughter.

After the incident he searched the maid's luggage and found magic and sorcery tools. He also found hair, bizarre talismans along with personal items belonging to the family including pictures.

The police has taken over the investigation and looking into the incident.

The parents were also questioned by the police but no one was not found guilty.
