Egypt teacher 'threw boiling water' in pupil's face

The incident happened after the boy went to the staff room several times, at other teachers' request. On his third visit, tasked with relaying a message from another teacher, the accused allegedly threw the kettle at him.
The suspect could be charged with assault and abuse of authority, the official said.
In December, a court jailed maths teacher Haitham Nabil Abdel Hamid for six years for kicking a schoolboy to death for failing to do his homework.
At the time Hamid's lawyer was quoted as saying: "Hitting (a child) is not banned in schools and my client did not break the law."
