Father abused and locked up girl for 13 years

Berlin: A woman who was imprisoned and beaten by her father for 13 years in Hungary has been left like a child with grey hair, a social worker said.

The 27-year-old woman was locked away on her 14th birthday in the family's flat in Budapest and was regularly abused in front of her bed-ridden mother.

The social worker said the woman's skin was "snow white" and she "gave the impression of being a 12-year-old child".

The case came to light after the death of the father, a prison warden, when the girl's mother raised the alarm. The mother died shortly after.
