reported that the aunt was a 'sadist' who had previously been convicted of stabbing a driver in the stomach during a road rage incident, leaving him seriously injured.
Reports say Aisha was regularly and cruelly punished for everything her aunt considered as the "wrong thing to do".
Ganieva subjected the girl to cruel torture, including pressing her against a hot stove or injuring her with knife and scissors, the court heard.
Prosecutor Maksharip Dobriev told local media: “Ganieva beat the girl up for any mistake from December 2018 until July 2019.
“As a result of the beatings, the girl suffered serious bodily injuries which led to the amputation of a part of her right arm.
“The accused was found guilty by the court.”
Ganieva was found convicted of grievous bodily harm with particular cruelty and sentenced to six years in prison.
Aisha’s mum, Lidiya Yevloyeva, had temporarily sent her girl, then aged six, to Ganieva’s family after facing financial difficulties, explains local media.
The mother, who thought her daughter would have a better life with her relatives, now deeply regrets her decision.
She told reporters: “The sentence is too mild. Aisha suffered from long-lasted abuse and severe psychological trauma.
“Her physical condition is still not well. She needs years of rehabilitation.”
Ganieva, who is a mum-of-two, never hurt her biological children, according to her neighbours.
